Community Health Equity Manchester – Expressions of interest CHEM sounding Boards

Is your organisation a champion for the communities it represents?

Manchester is working really hard to address health inequalities that mean some people face unfair hardship, health issues, or do not get the help they need.

Manchester City Council is looking for community organisations who can be part of Community Health Equity Manchester (CHEM), a strategic group that aims to tackle this disadvantage and help shape policy and services in the city, by learning from people's first-hand experience.

And that’s where you come in.

Measuring what matters most: understanding national well-being

“How’s life?”
This might be a simple question to answer for some, but our well-being, be it personal or national, is made up of so many different things. This could include how happy or anxious we feel, to how often we volunteer, to the abundance of important wildlife species in the UK.

Measuring national well-being helps us to understand how we’re doing beyond standard economic measures. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows what matters most to people when it comes to living a good and meaningful life.
