This synthesis was compiled using insights from eleven community-university partnerships funded under UKRI's Mobilising Community Assets to Tackle Health Inequalities program.

Research conducted by the first phase of the Mobilising programme focused on empowering communities to address health disparities by highlighting lived experiences and examining the impact of collaborative community, cultural, and nature-based activities in the UK.

It was conducted by a working group from UCL, the What Works Centre for Wellbeing and Leeds Beckett University.

Resource Output from the Mobilising Community Assets to Tackle Health Inequalities (MCA) Programme

Mobilising Community Assets (MCA) is a three-phase UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funded Research Programme running from 2021 to 2027. It is coordinated by the Culture-Nature-Health Research Group at University College London, in partnership with the National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) and funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), led by Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), with Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Medical Research Council (MRC). MCA has encouraged the projects it has funded throughout the UK to share knowledge and approaches to integration of community assets into the integrated care structures that exist in the local communities.
