This document provides an evaluation of the Creative English for Health Birmingham programme and was commissioned by FaithAction with a dual remit. The first is a traditional summative evaluation which serves as a check that the Creative English for Health Birmingham programme has delivered as per the expectations of the funder whilst also capturing good practice and areas of learning from it which can be used by other programmes and projects.
The second is to build an understanding of the value added by the community-based provision of health literacy programmes. With a faith sector agent leading delivery via established, grassroots local hubs rather than the local authority or secular public bodies, this is an opportunity to explore the role of using trusted local agents to promote health literacy.
