We are very pleased that our work in Salford on the role of local anchor networks in inclusive economy has been featured as a case study in the new briefing from the Health Foundation, Health at the Heart of Local Growth. https://www.health.org.uk/reports-and-analysis/briefings/health-at-the-heart-of-local-growth
The briefing illustrates the local levers that can release positive economic development. Investment in economic development – in areas such as housing, skills, transport and regeneration – will only improve local economies if strategies and interventions recognise two crucial factors: improving physical and mental health, and reducing inequalities.
