NEE: Live Well Neighbourhood Programme: Survey for Residents in Colchester South
Consultation has concluded
What is the Live Well Neighbourhood Programme?
We are a team of health and social care professionals and voluntary and public sector organisations, working together to make a positive difference to lives of everyone living in Colchester and Tendring. We are part of the North East Essex Health & Wellbeing Alliance.
We are your Live Well Neighbourhood Team.
Our Vision is:
We have a wide range of expertise and skills to provide you with the help and support you need. We will work as a team to ensure you have easy access to the help and support you need, without repeating your story to lots of different organisations.

Improving Health and Wellbeing
There are many factors which have an impact on your health and wellbeing. Some of these factors relate to our local area, such as: the local environment including housing and access to green spaces, access to health care, availability of local transport, education and employment.
Other factors which impact our health and wellbeing include our behaviours (for example how much we exercise) and our genetics (for example our family history of health conditions or our ethnicity) can also have an impact on our health and wellbeing.
These factors can either have a positive or negative impact on your health and wellbeing.
We aim to prevent future ill health, and improve wellbeing, by reducing the negative impact of these factor, so that you can live well.
