ABOUT
HEALTH EQUALS
We’re often told that our health is down to a combination of our genes and individual choices, but research shows that’s only part of the story.
The world around us shapes our health and the wellbeing of society overall – from quality homes that are warm and safe, to stable jobs, clean air, neighbourhoods with green space, and social connections. These things all play a crucial role in how healthy we are.
But right now in the UK, not all of us have equal access to what we need to live long and healthy lives — holding us back from good health.
That’s why we’re campaigning to reshape the conversation and push for change, so everyone has the best chance of good health, no matter who they are or where they live and work.
BUILDING
BLOCKS
Our health is shaped by the world around us – from good-quality homes, to stable jobs, social connections, and neighbourhoods with green space and clean air. These factors are what we call the building blocks of health and wellbeing.
