Improving Barnsley’s health is everyone’s responsibility. A variety of organisations have come together to support the programme and to make sure things happen.

The whole idea of Fit for the Future is built on strong, effective partnership working.

Good health can only be achieved through partnerships, which work to increase education, training and employment opportunities, improve the environment and increase opportunities for people to socialise and live healthy lifestyles.

In addition there are an increasing number of community based groups and projects that are having a positive impact on health and well being.

The biggest contribution however will come from the people who live and work in Barnsley.
