Eat Well Be Active

Strategy delivery

The framework is a dynamic product which will focus on effective partnership working and meaningful action, based on collaboration with stakeholders. The Eat Well Be Active Reference Group will provide expert oversight and quality assurance to the Eat Well Be Active framework. It will ensure all strands involved in increasing physical activity and promoting healthy eating are pulled together to create a robust, systematic, and broad structure which addresses lifestyle, behaviour change, our physical environments, and issues of access to healthy food and green space. The healthy weight declaration commitments will support the accountability of the strategy.

The group is chaired by the Leader of Cheshire West and Chester Council. Other members include Active Cheshire, Brio Leisure, Cheshire West and Chester Council, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Edsential, Groundwork, Healthbox, Mersey Forest, Integrated Care Board, University of Chester
