Posted on: January 13, 2026

We are delighted to invite you to take part in the live consultation on the Essex Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2026–2029.

👉 Share your views now by completing the online survey

 

The consultation closes on 3 February 2026, so please take a few minutes today to make your voice heard.

 

Why Your Voice Matters

This strategy will shape how we work together across Essex to tackle health inequalities and improve outcomes for residents. Your insights are essential to ensure the strategy reflects the real needs and priorities of our communities.

 

What We’re Asking You

We want your views on the four key areas of the strategy, which will guide the Health and Wellbeing Board’s focus over the next three years, along with the priorities within each. Your feedback will help us confirm whether these are the right areas or highlight other pressing challenges we may have overlooked.

 

What’s in the Strategy

Our vision: All residents are enabled to achieve good health, in safe and thriving communities, with access to support when they need it.

 

To achieve this, the strategy focuses on four key areas:

  1. Improving life chances for children and young people
  2. Helping more people into and stay in work
  3. Building healthy, resilient, and connected communities
  4. Creating opportunities to improve health and reduce the impact of poor health

 

There are three emerging priorities against each of these, including improving mental health, reducing poverty, helping more people into work, creating healthy places, and promoting healthy lifestyles.

 

Need Help?

Your contribution is critical to shaping a healthier, fairer, and more resilient Essex. Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
