Healthy Lifestyles Programme 2011 to 2015 - Providing Opportunities Promoting Health
The Trust has a strong track record of investment in activity that promotes healthy lifestyles, tackles health inequalities and improves the skills of people in the coalfields.
The Trust is committed to building on this work recognising that coalfield communities continue to experience significant health inequalities as a result of poor socio-economic conditions in comparison to non coalfield areas.
This assessment of the deep seated health problems in coalfield communities was highlighted in The Audit Commission Report (2008) and reinforced in the findings of I&DeA s Health Inequalities in Ex-Coalfield / Industrial Communities report (2010).
The Trust has been challenged by Dept for Communities and Local Government to respond to the sustained health problems experienced in our coalfield communities.
To respond to this challenge the Trust will deliver a Healthy Lifestyles Programme (2011 2015), ` Providing Opportunities Promoting Health.
