Healthy
Making Sheffield Healthier
Changing Sheff is working to achieve this by:
- Meeting with Director for Public Health on health issues in the city centre, including Medical Services available inside the ring road – are there enough facilities for the population and at suitable times? + the damage of 9% strength alcohol sales and air pollution levels.
- We are planning a seminar on 15th May 2019 for speakers to explain Sheffield's health services and residents & interested parties to talk about the issues. Contact us for details
- See all the initiatives in our other pages - Clean, Low Crime, Safe Buildings
Got an idea? Have your say, or come to a meeting! We can't do it alone! If you want this to happen, we need to work together.
Think living in the city is bad for your health? This might not be the case!
Inner-city living makes for healthier, happier people, according to a new study. Residents of higher-density areas are more active, more socially engaged – and less obese – than people who live in the sprawl of suburbia. Click here for the full story in The Guardian.
