Health and Wellbeing partnership
We are part of the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Health and Wellbeing partnership - a network of partners and agencies across the county who aim to improve the health of residents.
Together with our NHS partners and Leicestershire County Council we offer a range of support to our communities, to support both physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing.

Health and Wellbeing Plan
Through the partnership, we have developed a local Melton Borough Community Health and Wellbeing Plan 2023-2038, which underpins the work we deliver to the communities across our borough - which aims to tackle health inequalities which are present within our population.
Our vision
We want everyone in Melton to live happy, healthy, long lives without illness or disease for as long as possible.
To achieve this, we must consider the significant impact of the wider determinants of health (including social, economic and environmental factors) on people’s mental and physical health.
It also identifies all but age, sex and hereditary factors are modifiable to change and therefore lying within the
scope of this plan, particularly in relation to primary prevention.
