After 9/10ths of the programme delivery period, KWHP recordedcontacts with 2049 beneficiaries. This figure includes core beneficiaries who have activelyparticipated in a course of activities as well as those who have had less intensive contacts.For the core beneficiaries, Knowle West Health Park maintained a register and database for thosewho participated in project activities. These include SWWB funded activities along with those thatare supported through other funding streams. For the period February 2008 to Sept 2010 731beneficiaries were recorded on the project database.Of these, 74.3% were female and 4% were from Black or Minority Ethnic Backgrounds. Theorganisation worked with a wide range of age groups:44.5% were under 1639.9% were 16-6414.4% were 65 or over1.2% did not report their ageOf the 397 beneficiaries aged 16 or over, the main route to accessing the services was through wordof mouth (45.1%) followed by the organisation’s publicity and contacts (26.7%); a GP, health visitoror midwife (8.6%) and 13.1% via other routes.A majority described themselves as self referred (70.3%) whilst a minority stated that they had beenreferred by health or social care professional (7.8%) or a local community organisation or school(6.5%). These figures may under-record recommendations and referrals from partner organisations.The UWE survey in an earlier evaluation report of 16 practitioners from partner agencies found that13 (81.3%) recommend or refer clients to KWHP (Jones et al, 2009).149 SWWB Final Evaluation Report
For the 397 beneficiaries aged 16 or over, the main work status brackets were28.9% employed or self employed6.5% long term sick or disabled19.6% unemployed27.7% retired12.3% considered themselves to be ‘carers’ and 19.1% considered themselves to have a disability. Atthe outset of taking part in project activities 11% of participants described their general health as‘poor’. This compares to 8% in a national adult population survey (NWPHO, 2009) who said theirgeneral health was bad or very bad. These data suggest that KWHP has had success in targeting asubstantial number of individuals with higher levels of health need or at risk of social exclusion.Health and Well-being outcomesShortly before the start of the SWWB programme, KWHP had undertaken a comprehensive piece ofwork to develop an in-house monitoring and evaluation system. This made use of before and afterquestionnaire health related measures that are somewhat different from the standard SWWBmeasures. In addition the KWHP questionnaires collected information on the self reported outcomesfor clients.Overall the data show a marked contrast between quantitative measures and the self reportedqualitative data. Using a paired T test for a sample of 73 respondents, there were no statisticallysignificant changes in mental health(sleeplessness, feeling depressed); physical activity (activitylevel, breathlessness); and healthy eating (fruit and vegetable portions). These results may be due tothe characteristics of the in-house questionnaire measures themselves which may not have had thesensitivity to record behaviour changes.Table 2: Participants personal ‘ultimate goals’ for the Pathways to Health project activity. Samplen=67 Jan-Sept2009. Participants could identify multiple goalsUltimate Goal %Lose weight 39Get fit / Increase exercise 20Look after self / Get well / Time for self 20Increase mobility 12Beat depression 3Reduce cannabis smoking 3Relaxation / Reduce anxiety 6Stop smoking 10Nevertheless other data suggest positive results in terms of self-reported outcomes. For thePathways to Health project activity, participants were asked to state their personal goals at theoutset of activities. Table 2 shows the importance of physical activity and mental well-being relatedgoals for many participants.150 SWWB Final Evaluation Report
