Community, Health and Capital @ 19 Hills
A podcast series exploring new approaches to primary care, public health and public service delivery, supporting the 19 Hills Wellbeing Centre and community activities in Ringland, a small area in the east of Newport in south east Wales.
We talk to colleagues and partners around the UK and beyond on how shifting to prevention, prioritising action on the Social Determinants of health and community-owned models of service delivery could change lives - and give staff a better job and purpose.

Investing in #TechforGood with Paul Miller, Managing Partner and CEO, Bethnal Green Ventures
Let us know what you think of the show
Joining us in this episode is Paul Miller, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer at Bethnal Green Ventures (BGV). BGV started in 2012, with social innovation camps aiming to bring together people at the sharp end of social and environmental challenges with some of the best tech talent in the UK.
The founders drew on learning from the success of accelerator programmes in the US and started with the idea of Europe's first 'tech for good' accelerator programme.
The group have since 2012 raised over £50M from investors which they continue to put into a rolling programme, offering £60,000 investment to handpicked projects who receive 6 weeks mentoring and wider support.
Hear about how the programme has grown, what has motivated companies to invest, whether well-intentioned tech can mitigate the sometimes harmful impacts of other technologies and how interested listeners can apply.
