Healthy
City Events
During Healthy City week 2011, a series of events, conferences and activities showed what
we are already doing and helped to plan for the future. The
activities ran from Monday, 17 October to Sunday, 23 October
2011.
The aim of the week was to promote Carlisle as a Healthy City
and improve the health and wellbeing of the people within our
district.
All the events shared some common objectives:
- To raise health awareness across the district;
- To strengthen partnerships and develop new programmes; and
- To get more people involved.
We encouraged everyone to join in and support Healthy City
week.
WHO Healthy City
Carlisle became a World Health Organisation Healthy City in
2009. Since then, we have worked closely with organisations such as
the NHS, Riverside and Carlisle Leisure and have gained from the
Healthy City approach and network.
We have started new projects which have made a real difference
to local people. As a result, we are closer to reaching our aims
and the Healthy City Network has recognised our work.
