Health Xchange

Health Xchange was a lottery-funded programme delivered by PCVS on behalf of Peterborough Plus. The project empowered small community groups to deliver health and wellbeing activities in their locality.

A similar project was delivered by PCVS in 2022-24 funded by the Evelyn Trust.

Both projects have now ended.
