Health promotion is about preventing ill health and maximising well-being.
There are many things which can influence this, eg, where you live, whether you work, your family history and your lifestyle. The Council's services impact on many of these - housing, pollution, refuse collection etc. We work with other organisations, including the NHS, to promote good health. This includes projects on healthy eating , smoking and skin cancer prevention, as well as looking at our own policies and procedures. This alliance brings together many organisations in Fareham which have an interest in preventing ill-health.
