Lancashire County Council and the District Councils are also committed to helping residents stay healthy, including being at a healthy weight, as we know this can have has long term implications on people's wellbeing. We have looked closely at what works in terms of creating a healthy weight environment and through the Healthy Hearts transformation programme have secured the investment we need to deliver this programme. We would like to work with other organisations and residents of Lancashire to help steer the programme, and are keen to hear from anyone who would like to collaborate. Thank you for visiting the site, I hope you find the information useful. If you need more information or would like to talk to us about getting involved, please get in touch".

Nicola Calder, Programme Lead at Food Active, said: 

“We are excited to be working with both Lancashire County Council and colleagues in the district councils on this programme of work. This is a real opportunity to build on some of the excellent work and exiting relationships developed through the Pennine Lancashire Childhood Obesity Trailblazer Programme, supporting important priorities in promoting healthy weight, healthy hearts and driving down inequalities. This project is part of a much wider systems approach and partnership work to help improve the well-being of communities across the county by engaging key stakeholders such as Elected Members, children & young people and businesses in driving this important agenda forward.”
