Economy

Strong economic foundations are critical to the future success of an area, creating quality employment opportunities for local people.

Mental health and physical health are interlinked, with people with mental illness experiencing higher rates of morbidity and a lower life expectancy, and people with chronic physical health problems more likely to experience mental health problems.

Physical Activity

Regular physically activity has significant health and wellbeing benefits and the evidence to support these benefits for all ages and groups has become more compelling in recent years.

Sexual health

Good sexual health is an important aspect of health and wellbeing, and it is vital that people have the information, the confidence and the means to make choices that are right for them, regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or belief or disability.

Substance Use (drugs and alcohol)

Anyone could be at risk of becoming dependent on drugs and alcohol during their lives, with root causes often linked with experience of trauma, particularly in childhood.
