Our priorities are to: give every child the best start in life, support our communities and places to be healthy and sustainable, support our residents to maintain healthy lifestyles, enable our residents to age well and support people living with dementia, improve support to people and families living with life-long conditions, long term health conditions and physical disabilities, and improve our residents’ mental health and outcomes for those with learning disabilities and autism.
