All Well and Good?

Working together to reduce health inequalities in the City.

A city where people are active and healthy is one of Brighton and Hove's aspirations, and an event being organised by the Community and Voluntary Sector Forum (CVSF) aims to tease out a range of priorities to help achieve this. The event, ‘All Well And Good?' which takes place from 6 - 8pm on Tuesday 16 October at St Mary's Church Hall, Kemp Town, will bring together community groups, and others interested in health, to prioritise the key issues.

Part of a series of Stronger Community Programme events, the issues raised at this meeting will be prioritised and worked into a position statement. Members of the CVSF will have further opportunity to comment on them when they go online.

Sally Hiscock, Chief Officer the CVSF said: "These events are vital in pulling together the top campaign messages on a range of issues.  Whatever is discussed here, whether its how to help people stop smoking, stop teenage pregnancies or reduce levels of obesity, the ideas and opinions made will go forward and be used to influence local policy."

The event is free to attend and is open to anyone who works for a community or voluntary group or charity or is involved in health in Brighton and Hove.
