The Health and Well-Being Thematic Action Group
The Health and Wellbeing Group aims to improve health and reduce the health inequalities which the people living in the District of Bolsover experience. The Partnership is committed to significantly improving the health and quality of life in the area
The Action Group
The group has representation from a wide range of agencies from the voluntary and community sector, all of whom have an involvement of interest in promoting health and improving wellbeing.
