SAVE THE DATE: The Developing Healthy Communities Impact Report 2022

What have we achieved in our 30th year? Read our 2021/22 impact report, released on Thursday 6 October 2022.

In 2022 Developing Healthy Communities celebrates its 30th anniversary. In three decades working for improved mental, physical and social wellbeing the one thing that we have learned is that you should never stop learning. In that spirit, we want our birthday celebrations to be an opportunity to talk, think and learn about the most pressing health issues and biggest opportunities facing all of us right now.

Between World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September) and World Mental Health Day (10 October) we will hold a series of 30th anniversary events for our friends and colleagues in the community, statutory and enterprise sectors.

Booking for this event has now closed.
