Healthy Lifestyles and Affordable Housing

Adrian Pritchard is Colchester2020’s Lead Partner for promoting healthy lifestyles, providing affordable housing and reducing homelessness.

This priority aims to enable all people to have a place they can call their home, to improve people’s self-esteem, their ability to eat properly, exercise well and to live life to the full.

Affordable housing helps with the supply of housing and reduces homelessness. This in turn promotes more healthy living.

As a consequence, we aim to:

Stimulate collaborative action between partners to promote and support healthy lifestyles
Maximise opportunities to improve the supply of housing and support residents to maintain their tenancies
Improve the sustainability and reduce the carbon emissions of our housing.
