Belfast Strategic Partnership

Belfast Strategic Partnership was established to address the life inequalities that impact on Belfast, developing effective plans and interventions to help all residents.

They're supported by the Belfast Health Development Unit which is made up of staff from Belfast City Council, the Public Health Agency and the Belfast Health and Social Services Trust.

These staff will deliver the actions outlined in their key strategic document - the Framework for Action.

The key themes of the Framework for Action are:

• mental health and emotional wellbeing
• alcohol and drugs
• early years / early interventions
• lifelong learning
• regenerating living places and healthy spaces

There are also some crosscutting themes:

• Poverty
• Healthy ageing and age friendly Belfast
• Active Belfast

To request a copy of the Framework for Action please contact the Belfast Health Development Unit by emailing morganj@bhdu.org or phone 028 9050 2073.

1. Connect
2. Be active
3. Learn
4. Give to others
5. Take notice
