										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Creative Lives are inviting people to join the Making It Count Steering Group, a project run by Essex County Council and the University of Essex.<br />
The project aims to develop a practical toolkit to help community organisations, charities, commissioners, and public health teams understand and show the difference their work makes.<br />
We would like to hear from Organisations (e.g. community groups, food banks, or wellbeing activities) that support health and well-being within the community in Essex.</p>
<p>There are several different ways to get involved, including:<br />
• Steering group<br />
• Focus groups<br />
• Workshops<br />
• Testing</p>
<p><strong>If you are interested, please take a look at the attached PDF (below) for more information about the project.</strong></p>
