A conversation with Sir Michael Marmot on health, inequality, dignity and what helps people and places live well.

What does it really take for people to live well?

Join People’s Powerhouse for an open, informal conversation with Sir Michael Marmot, reflecting on a lifetime of work exploring the links between health, inequality, place and power.

This is not a lecture. It’s a guided discussion rooted in real life, lived experience and the everyday decisions shaping our communities.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • what decades of research tell us about the social determinants of health and why inequality remains such a powerful driver of poor outcomes
  • how ideas like dignity, wellbeing and agency can be embedded into local and regional decision-making
  • what gives hope when communities and places choose to do things differently

This conversation is part of Community Wells, a webinar series creating space for reflection, learning and connection between people, places and power.
