Healthy Living Initiatives provide real opportunities to improve health and address inequalities. Local people working together at community level and in partnership with service providers, focusing on health in its broadest sense can help to develop sustainable communities that improve their quality of life and health.

The Healthy Living Initiative programme provides many ways in which to engage the local community enabling them to take an active part in the regeneration of their area through community health development.

It is essential that the promotion of healthy living is extended throughout the county of Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, linking to existing thematic plans and strategies.
