What we aim to achieve

The sustainable Community Strategy identifies 8 priorities for promoting Health and Well Being in Poole:

• Reducing health inequalities
• Reducing relative poverty
• Improved health through healthier life-styles
• Promoting work-place health
• Improved quality of life for carers and the people they care for
• Improved mental health
• Promoting positive attitudes to disability and for disabled people to influence service providers
• Addressing homelessness, rough sleeping and securing decent homes for everyone

A number of the areas are in need of further research and development to support the development of a prioritised action. The Health and Well Being Partnership will be reviewing these as part of the review of the Community Strategy at their meeting in September 2009.
