WYRE FOREST District Council’s cabinet is discussing an updated Health Action Plan to tackle health inequalities.
Themes of the plan include helping people manage their health, service for vulnerable adults, helping people stay connected and giving people the best start in life.
The collaborative includes partners such as Worcestershire Public Health, the two Primary Care Networks, West Mercia Police, Onside Advocacy and Age UK.
They are working together to help deliver the Being Well in Worcestershire Strategy in the district.
Councillor Chris Rogers, cabinet member with responsibility for housing, health and wellbeing said: “By undertaking our own actions and working with our partners our 2024 Health Action Plan offered help for many.
“Just a couple of examples include how the Warmth on Prescription project gave extra support for heating bills to vulnerable households with health conditions and the Family Coach Pilot project benefited more than 70 families with healthy eating and lifestyle support.
“This year’s plan continues to focus on prevention, awareness and community support. We are aiming to create a healthier, more connected Wyre Forest where everyone can thrive.”
