Health and wellbeing strategy

The aim of the strategy is to set out clear priorities to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Spelthorne. The strategy presents a new and exciting opportunity to build on and succeed in partnership working, where it is recognised that by working together we can achieve the greatest results.

The Strategy is formed of three pillars which are the Borough's Health and Wellbeing priorities for the next five years. Under each priority, there are three focus areas.

• Residents are happy in their neighbourhoods
• Maximise use of parks and open spaces

Community - foster communities which are integrated where residents feel connected

• Community led services reaching all members of community
• Maximise use of parks and open spaces
