Our communities

Flourishing and active communities are key to a healthy society, and therefore, working closely with communities is a key role of Public Health.  Voluntary and community groups hold specialist expertise and insights about the unique needs and strengths of our diverse communities. 
 
The Public Health and Communities Team recognise the key role communities can play in improving health and wellbeing for everyone and addressing health inequity. We recognise the importance of allowing communities to find their own solutions and invest in new ways of working collaboratively to allow this to happen. We are proud of a long history of positive relationships with much of the sector and invest time in building and maintaining these vital links.
