- Self-reliant and confident
- Thriving and emotionally well
- Reaching their full potential
- Living in safe and strong families and communities
Two of Get Doncaster Moving's principles are:
- Using data, insight and evidence
- Learn by doing and share it with others

Well Doncaster
Well Doncaster is a community-centred approach to reducing inequalities and building wealth at an individual, community and organisational level. Working in an intelligence-based way is a core element of our approach and the team have been working with partners to develop Population Health Management Community Profiles for twenty of our priority communities across Doncaster. These community profiles can help inform and shape work within each community across partnerships. These are living documents that will be refreshed every six month to capture additional insight and reflect communities’ development and growth.
For more information on the Population Health Management Community Profiles contact welldoncaster@welldoncaster.uk
The health of people in our communities faces a range of complex and linked challenges, such as the increase in people living with chronic illness and long-term illness linked to our ageing society, and growing health inequalities.

Stronger Families
Doncaster Council and its partners are developing new ways of working with families.
The aim of Stronger Families programme is to change the way families are supported to improve their lives using a whole family approach coordinating services through a lead worker. Families are supported to tackle the issues they face and build their resilience; through this there will be a reduced demand on high cost services by identifying and supporting families earlier.

This commitment follows that of the NHS Long Term Plan which promises investment to expand NHS specialist provision to help more people with serious gambling problems, and working with partners to tackle the problems at source.
The aim of the Gambling needs assessment is to understand the prevalence and effects of gambling harm in Doncaster.
