How Sheffield is reducing health inequalities
•We have an ambitious 5 year plan for a North East (NE) Model Neighbourhood in
Sheffield.
•It sets out a new way of creating health, wellbeing and connection within our
communities.
•It builds on the Health and Care Partnership’s commitment to devolve power to
communities, strengthen connections and build community capacity to address issues
that are important to them.
•Communities have the knowledge, skills and assets which means they are best placed to
identify and respond to any challenges they face.
•We want local people to know their neighbours, have strong relationships and a network
of people who support and look out for each other. We want thriving community
infrastructure that will help attract investment into Sheffield, boosting the local economy.
•All evidence points to successful sustainable change happening at a grassroots level and
we will facilitate that.
•We want to change Sheffield, one neighbourhood at a time.
