West Midlands Health and Well Being Strategy

(West Midlands Regional Health Partnership)

Published January 2008 

Regional lead organisations have collectively written the strategy which aims to:

  • Reduce inequalities in health and well-being through influencing Government, Regional organisations, the NHS and Local Authorities   
  • Improve the quality of life of all citizens, promoting a social model of health, promoting both mental and physical well-being throughout people’s lives.
  • Ensure healthcare investment contributes to economic, social and environmental planning and regulation
  • Ensure health issues continue to be promoted in other regional strategies.

Living Well is a £6.8 million BIG Lottery funded initiative  managed by the West Midlands Regional Assembly. It aims to
improve the health and wellbeing of people in the region in three key areas: physical activity, mental health and healthy eating.
 
There are currently 33 projects across the region, using  interesting and innovative approaches - from “green gyms” to wellbeing workshops and martial arts classes.
 
Councillor Steve Eling, Chair of the Regional Health Partnership, said, “We hope to make people more aware of the link between the importance of healthy eating, physical activity and good mental health. Our projects will encourage people to take part in exercise and healthy eating that can help improve their
physical and mental well being no matter what the age.”
 
CSIP West Midlands are part of the Living Well in the West Midlands steering group.
