Working together for a fairer, healthier Greenwich

Discover how we're improving everyone's chances to be healthy and how you can get involved.

Our vision for the future

Everyone deserves the chance to live the healthiest life they can. But not all of us start with the same opportunities. 

We're committed to changing this. 

Our goal is to make sure everyone has opportunities to be healthy, whatever their circumstances. This is what we mean by health equity.

Together, we'll create a fairer, healthier Greenwich – a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and no one is left behind. 

Our latest public health report focuses on one of the most pressing challenges we’re facing as a borough: health inequalities. 

In response, it sets out our approach to achieving health equity at scale.

How you can support fairer health

To create a fair start for everyone, we need to understand who is being held back, listen to what support they need and work together to close the gaps in good health they face. 

Whatever you do, we can all play a role in some way.
