The primary role of Healthy Leeds is to act as the over-arching city-wide strategic partnership for health improvement and health inequalities enabling dialogue between statutory partners, service user and carer representatives, the voluntary and community sector, and other key agencies for health.

Our vision is: Leeds will be a healthy city for everyone who lives, visits or works here, promoting fulfilling and productive lives for all. We will reduce inequalities in health between different parts of the city, between different groups of people and between Leeds and the rest of the country.
