SALC is working with Somerset Council, and other partners, to help support the County’s City, Town and Parish Councils to actively engage in, and deliver, community health & wellbeing projects.
Health & Wellbeing is a broad subject area with many possible activity proposals. The eleven headings are an indication of the kind of factors that can have an impact on people’s physical and mental health as well as a sense of wellbeing and belonging.
You know your community best so your councils are best placed to deliver projects that address any inequality related to these factors.
