The overarching theme of South East Coastal Communities (SECC) was Health and Wellbeing, and projects centred around at least one of the following themes:
- Healthy Environment
Supporting communities to plan and develop a health-promoting and safe environment and to develop sustainable ways of using their natural resources. For example, advice and skills in developing new community facilities and taking forward urban and rural environmental improvement projects.
- Healthy People
Supporting communities to improve and influence lifestyle and health choices across the lifespan, in order to improve the overall health amongst the local population. For example, supporting healthy eating, sports and exercise programmes, healthcare, education and community arts projects.
- Healthy Social Economy
Supporting communities to develop economic, political and social capital and to improve access to work. For example, enabling community members to be active agents of change and working to develop social enterprises and knowledge exchange between communities and universities.
