Improving health in Calderdale
We are working to improve and protect the health and well-being of the community.
We want to help you live a long, healthy life and reduce health differences between local areas. Working with other organisations, we aim to create a healthy environment and enable, inspire and motivate you to:
- Make healthy choices.
- Seek treatment earlier.
- Protect yourself against health threats.

Our Calderdale Health and Wellbeing Strategy aims to enable everyone to live a larger life. To achieve this, we need to support good health and well-being throughout the course of our lives. So, we have one priority goal for each life stage:
- Starting Well. For babies, very young children aged 0-5 and expectant families.
- Developing Well. For childhood and young adulthood (aged 6 to 25 years).
- Living and Working Well. For working age adults.
- Ageing Well. With a focus on older people, aged 50 and over.
To steer the work in each priority area, each life stage will have a strategy developed. The first of these is Starting Well and its goal is that children will be ready for school.
For more details, please read:
Starting Well Strategy (To be published shortly).
We are assessing the health needs of Calderdale, so we understand what we need to work on. For more details about this, see: Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.
