Healthy communities: Meeting the shared challenge
‘Healthy Communities: Meeting the Shared Challenge’ was a Scottish Government funded programme running from 2008 to 2010 that aimed to encourage and support community-led approaches to health improvement throughout Scotland.
The programme was a partnership between NHS Health Scotland and the Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC).
Case studies were prepared in several areas of Scotland. Some of the information presented is only valid up to 2009, but it has been updated where possible. These case studies are not intended to include every type of community-led health improvement activity, nor do they claim to be the very best of the practice that can be found. They are snapshots from a very wide range of activity. They represent different types of area, urban and rural, more and less disadvantaged.
