High-quality, health-promoting
local environments

A community which has spaces for recreation and leisure – that promote health and well-being, foster biodiversity and increase tree cover to tackle climate change.

Resilient, caring and interconnected

A community whose members can support each other; take part in local decision making; and bring about meaningful change on the issues affecting them. 

Individuals’ well-being

A thriving community is one which enables people to lead fulfilled lives - developing their skills, interests and confidence – and where physical and mental well-being is fostered.

Vibrant

A bustling, animated place that people feel part of and have pride in; having a strong sense of belonging & community ownership; with opportunities for arts and culture, regular community events and celebrations. 

Enterprising and sustainable local economy

Where people have access to meaningful work and are paid a living wage; in a place that values and nurtures local businesses, start-ups, and creatives.
