Healthy City Partnership
The Healthy City Partnership is the group which takes forward the Healthy City work of the 2020 Community Strategy. The partnership steers action to improve health for everyone within the city and is tasked by the Local Strategic Partnership to:
- Agree the most important health needs within the City
- Agree a strategy to work together to reduce health inequalities
- Develop a City Health Development Plan.
It brings together representatives from the city council, neighbourhoods, community and voluntary, health, business and academic sectors, to:
- Provide leadership and vision to improve health for all within the city
- Co-ordinate intersectoral action to improve health and reduce inequalities in health
- Influence policy and decision-making which maximizes health for all within the City and develop new policies where appropriate
- Communicate with and secure participation of local communities
- Support action to address the health needs of vulnerable and socially excluded groups.
The Partnership has recently submitted a Healthy Communities Challenge Fund Bid, which you can see here. If it is successful, there will be opportunities for interested Forum memebrs to discsuss it.
Please note that due to the upcoming school holidays and the Christmas period, the deadline for expressions of interest for Communities for Health funding has been extended by a week. The new deadline for submitting expressions of interest is 12th January 2009.
