Living healthier independent lives

People can lead healthier and independent lives for longer
We want to harness all the skills and experience available to improve health and wellbeing in the borough, enable people to live independently for as long as possible, keep adults who are at risk of abuse and neglect safe. We want to increase pride in Croydon and continue to foster a vibrant and active civic life.
Following the pandemic tackling inequality and improving the health of our residents is more important than ever. We will build on our already close partnership with the local NHS to improve public and mental health and reduce inequalities.
We will:
- work with partners and the Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector (VCFS) to promote independence, health and wellbeing and keep vulnerable adults safe
- work closely with health services and the VCFS to improve resident health and reduce health inequalities
- foster a sense of community and civic life
