The Environmental Health Promotion team, based at St Albans City and District Council, is committed to improving the health of our community through the provision of services, advice and information.
We support a wide range of public health campaigns, local events and community projects and have strong partnerships with local and national groups. We also provide regular training for members of the public.
We take a holistic view of health and believe that good health depends not only on physical but also on mental wellbeing. We see health promotion as a process of raising awareness, enabling people to increase control over their lives, and addressing the factors within the environment and community that influence health
Our Key Objectives:
- To prevent ill health and to promote the maintenance and improvement of physical and mental health of individuals in our community.
- To work in partnership with external organisations.
- To reduce health inequalities by working in deprived areas of the district.
We focus on a range of priority areas which include promoting nutritious food, active communities, tobacco control, accident prevention, sun awareness, alcohol awareness and school and workplace health promotion.
For more information on local projects, health issues, accident prevention, the environment and disability issues, see our FAQ or please contact us.
