Health & Wellbeing

Champion and advocate the role being active can play in contributing to wider outcomes across the health system and tackling health inequalities

Health and wellbeing represent one of the key areas of focus for Active Black Country and it's partners. Over the next 2 years, Active Black Country will:

  1. Work across the health sector to ensure the workforce is appropriately equipped to deliver messages regarding physical activity.
  2. Collaborate at the strategic level to enable the necessary pathways to be in place to increase levels of physical activity.
  3. Identify investment opportunities to increase the capacity of the sector to tackle health inequalities.
  4. Identify gaps in knowledge and opportunities across the health and wellbeing sector to develop key insight into the benefits of an active lifestyle.
