Pilot population no. 2 saw an overall improvement in health & well-being scores of 10.1% in the engaged population.

An independent economic evaluation of the C4L programme concluded that C4L is a highly effective use of NHS resources. If the project approach is applied to a target population of 10,000 individuals over a 10-year period, the potential saving from avoiding associated cost of managing heart disease, stroke and premature deaths would be in the region of £1.3 million.
