Objective 2

Promote healthy lifestyle choices and encourage participation in sport and physical activity. To reduce poor health and deprivation across Newcastle borough.

Objective 3

Work with other organisations to reduce the number of people who are out of work and to improve educational achievement and skills development, particularly amongst young people.
