Looking into the future: Next steps

  • We will spend time and resource ensuring that our people are trained and aware of what ABCD is and how to help support our ambitions.
  • We will consider our approaches and policies and how much they reflect this citizen-led approach, and where they do not we will work to change them.
  • We will focus funding opportunities to activities and initiatives that support this approach.
  • We will look to co-produce what we do with communities and local leaders and work collaboratively with each other.
  • We will look at more pooling of assets across Colchester, be they people, funds or buildings.
  • We will continue to engage with our most vulnerable and marginalised communities, working to reduce the inequalities that exist among and between them.
  • Ultimately, we will work towards, in Marmot’s words, a 'fair distribution of health and wellbeing' for our communities.
