Brighton and Hove
- a Healthy City

These pages tell you about the Healthy City programme in Brighton and Hove.

Healthy Brighton and Hove involves NHS Brighton and Hove, the City Council and many of the city’s other leading organisations.

That’s because good health isn’t just about health care. It is also linked to things such as employment, housing, transport, crime, education and income.

Practical examples of what the programme has done include:

• promoting health at school
• encouraging local businesses to support healthy living and sports activities for their staff
• creating green gyms, greenways, and safe cycling and walking routes
• reducing the number of people who smoke, particularly in the most deprived areas with the worst health
• more support for carers
• improving air quality by reducing traffic on two main roads leading into central Brighton

To give you an idea of what the Healthy City Programme is about why not look at our recent film.

Anyone can read these pages but they are intended mainly for organisations which are, or would like to be, members of the Healthy City Partnership.

They explain:

• the background to the Healthy City programme
• our current programme of work
• how the Healthy City Partnership is organised
• how organisations can get involved
