Well London wins an award from the Royal Society for Public Health
The Well London Alliance Partnership has won a Health Promotion and Community Well-being award from the Royal Society for Public Health. This award recognises the Well London Alliance’s achievements and innovative approach to promoting community health and well-being in 20 of London's most disadvantaged areas. The award was presented at the House of Lords on 29th November 2011 .
If we are to reduce health inequities it is essential to take action on the social determinants of health - the 'causes of the causes' of ill health. That means working in partnership at local level to improve the social conditions in which we are born, live, grow, work and age. The Well London Alliance Partnership does just that. Empowering individuals and communities, and giving people a voice is integral to addressing health inequalities. I am delighted the Partnership has achieved well-deserved recognition for its work.
