We are delighted to present the 10-year review of the Marmot Partnership's work in Coventry.
Coventry became the first Marmot city to act on the recommendations from Sir Michael Marmot’s report ‘Fair Society, Healthy Lives 2010’. As a city, we are working collaboratively to embed the Marmot Principles and proportionate universalism in our work to take collective action on the factors that shape our resident’s health and well-being.
This reflective summary showcases examples of Marmot work, including activities that support access to better jobs, education, and training opportunities, increased financial stability, good-quality homes, and healthy, nature-friendly green and blue spaces.
For us in Coventry, the Marmot Partnership and being a Marmot city are at the centre of everything we do, across all the city partners and programmes, with the sole aim of reducing unjust inequalities within our communities. It aligns with Coventry HDRC's values and objectives.
The report provides us with direction to ensure that we continue to develop as a Marmot city and contribute to the growing evidence base to lessen the impact of health inequalities, ensuring the city becomes a fairer place to live, work, and grow up in.
