Executive Summary Teaming up for Health is an innovative, collaborative approach to delivering activities and messages which have a positive impact on people and communities across the City of Hull. The concept was adapted from work that had been undertaken in Widnes between Widnes Vikings Rugby League Club and Halton CCG. Hull CCG and Hull City Council’s Public Health jointly commissioned Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers Rugby League Clubs to work together to test and learn good practice in partnership delivery with the aim of improving health and wellbeing in Hull’s communities. A first of its kind for the city, Teaming up for Health set out to demonstrate the impact that could be achieved from bringing two of Hull’s most recognisable brands and fiercest rivals together to achieve positive outcomes. What follows in this report is a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the pilot year of Teaming up for Health. 1 Contents Executive Summary 1 CHAPTER 1: Why Teaming up for Health 3 - 25 Partnership Overview 3 Fan Profiles 4 Social Media Reach 18 Additional Funding Leveraged 22 CHAPTER 2: Delivery 26 - 64 The Launch 26 Health Day 31 Health Zones 34 2018 Campaigns and Initiatives 37 National Walking Month 43 Fit4FC 47 Hull KR Food for Thought 53 Dove House Hospice Friday Friends 57 Full of Life 59 Old Faithful 61 Heritage of Hull KR (Rovers Rewind) 63 Change 4 Life Clubs 64 CHAPTER 3: Added Value 65 - 74 Rugby Football League Inclusion Funding 65 Hull KR Dance Together 70 Hull KR Match Day Volunteers 72 CHAPTER 4: Conclusion and Recommendations 75 APPENDIX 77 - 99 2 Chapter One: Why Teaming up for Health PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW Hull KR and Hull FC Rugby League Clubs have put rivalries aside and come together to launch a brand-new health initiative alongside the NHS Hull Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Hull City Council Public Health Team. The ‘Teaming up for Health’ (TufH) partnership takes a fresh look at improving the health in the city. Both clubs hold a unique position at the heart of Hull’s disadvantaged communities, and this enables us to easily reach people that other agency seldom see or hear, other than at points of crisis. Our influence within these communities is extensive and we are a trusted provider of services for our constituents. The core of our delivery is sport and physical activity, particularly rugby league, and it is through this core delivery that we can positively impact on peoples lives through more innovative methods. Hull is a great sporting city and through the project the aim is to engage with local people in a different way. TufH aims to demonstrate the health and wellbeing benefits that taking part in activities offered by the clubs can provide. Additionally, TufH aims to increase the awareness of key health messages and services, as well as working with partners and community groups to promote local and national campaigns. When planning the pilot of TufH the partnership agreed to focus on the following four themes: 1. Obesity in children and young people 2. Mental health in males and teenagers 3. Long term conditions of people of working age 4. Isolation and loneliness in older people Hull FC Foundation (the Foundation) and Hull KR Community Trust (the Trust) had significant experience of separately delivering programmes across these four themes and TufH was an opportunity to work collaboratively and test and learn. 3 FAN PROFILES To understand the impact the TufH would have it was important to understand the socio-economic circumstances of firstly the supporter base of both clubs and then the communities they were part of. This section highlights profiles of adult members and Junior Robins of Hull KR and adult members of Hull FC for the 2018 Rugby League season. It is important to note that there are other fans that attend games, watch matches on television or engage with the Club’s activities but do not subscribe to a membership. Additionally, fan profiles allow TufH to explore how we can target communication to our audiences more effectively. Methodology Postcode data was collated from the Hull KR and Hull FC Retail Departments, for Junior Robins and Adult Members. Working in partnership with the Hull City Council's Business Intelligence Team, an analysis was completed on this postcode data and included geographical presentation and statistical comparisons. Public Health, health and wellbeing data, as well as Sport England Market Segmentations profiles were overlaid onto this.
