JanineHealthwatch Leeds is asking residents in East Leeds to share their experiences of living with more than one long-term health condition.
This is a project between the NHS and the University of Leeds and Healthwatch Leeds is supporting them to make sure people’ voices and experiences help to shape this project.
They are wanting to hear from people who live in or have a GP surgery in one of the following areas:
• Burmantofts, Harehills, Chapeltown and Richmond Hill
• Seacroft
• West Leeds – Farsley, Pudsey, Bramley, Calverley
And who have more than one of the following health conditions or care for someone who has these conditions:
• Heart Disease
• Diabetes
• Chronic Kidney Disease and
• Mental health problems
A spokesperson said: “We particularly want to hear from different groups and communities and from people who may not usually get involved.
“We can talk to people face to face or online and can come out to where they are. We can also offer any support for people to be able to speak to us, such as interpreters.
“In return for sharing their experiences with us we will be able to offer a £25 gift voucher. If you work for an organisation where it is possible for you to get a group of people together who meet the above criteria, please do let us know and we can discuss this further with you including costings.”
If you have any questions or queries, please contact Healthwatch Leeds info@healthwatchleeds.co.uk or call 0113 8980035.
Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
