The Council, along with its partners and residents are developing a new Health and Wellbeing Strategy that sets out the vision and priorities for health services across the borough for the next five years (April 2026 until March 2031).

The new Strategy will provide the vision and priorities for health services, the Council, blue light emergency services and the voluntary and community sector in the borough to help them work together and improve health and wellbeing for residents. The priorities will be jointly delivered by all partners, with progress monitored each year.

We developed our new draft Strategy through discussions with community groups and a public engagement which ended in August 2025. This engagement helped us to understand which priorities and themes were most important to people. We used the feedback from this engagement to help us to develop and shape the draft Strategy, which we are now consulting on.

This is in line with the ongoing conversations we are having with communities to agree how we effectively engage with them to support them to live healthy and happy lives. Our community commitment is that we are ‘open to ideas, honest about challenges and here to help.’

We would like to hear from residents, professionals and volunteers who work in our health and care organisations, and community and voluntary groups about how we deliver the commitments outlined in the Strategy, to improve the health and wellbeing of people in Cheshire West and Chester.
