Chase Up
Making a Difference Locally
Chase Up is a great example of how Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles delivers community initiatives to support the health and wellbeing of our residents. Funded through the Big Lottery, the ‘Chase Up’ programme works with residents, schools and voluntary organisations in Hednesford North, Chadsmoor and the Springfields estate in Rugeley.
What is Chase Up?
Our Chase Up team deliver fun and engaging sessions on gardening and creativity in these communities, supporting opportunities for people to access their local greenspaces and improve their lifestyle.
This past year, the team has helped develop the community allotments at the Cannock stadium site and are now working on a new sensory garden for Red Hill Primary School. You may have seen them in our parks, having fun potting plants and painting with local community groups. These engagement activities are truly having an impact on people’s lives.
The project is expected to run until 2025 and hopes to work with over 40+ community and voluntary groups. Partners already involved include Springfield’s Residents Association, Redhill Primary School and Friends of the Stadium.
The bid was led by Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles working collaboratively with Staffordshire County Council and Cannock Chase Council.
