Three ways you can create healthy change
1

Creating healthier places

The places where you spend your time have an impact on your health. Think about the places you go: your school, your local park, your shops and your neighbourhood. Are they safe and welcoming for everyone? Can you walk or cycle to them? Do they support healthy choices? You have the power to make a change for better health and wellbeing. Start a conversation today.

2

Connecting with your community

Strong, vibrant and connected communities are healthy communities. Get to know your local community. Connect with your local government. Explore your local groups and sporting clubs. And think about how you can help to create a friendlier, safer and healthier place for everyone.

3

Supporting healthy children

Raising strong, healthy and happy children is important to all of us. Think about the messages children encounter, the places where they spend their time; and the role models they admire. Do the messages consistently promote good health? Are the places as safe and healthy as they can be? Are their role models positive and inclusive? Talk to the people around you. You have the power to make a difference.
