Well London Alliance partners

London Health Commission

The LHC brought together the following organisations to form the Well London Alliance. Each leads on a key theme of the programme and each is the link partner to three or four local areas.

Culture and tradition

Arts Council England works to get more art to more people in more places. We develop and promote the arts across England, acting as an independent body at arm's length from government. We believe that the arts have the power to change lives and communities, and to create opportunities for people throughout the country.

Open spaces and environment

Groundwork London supports communities in need, working with partners to help improve the quality of people's lives, their prospects and potential and the places where they live, work and play. Our vision is of a society of sustainable communities which are vibrant, healthy and safe, which respect the local and global environment and where individuals and enterprise prosper.

Physical activity, young people and children

Central YMCA - is the UK's leading activity for health charity and is also the world's first YMCA, established in 1844. Our objectives are to improve the health and quality of life of individuals and communities; champion the benefits of health-based activity for all; and address, and tackle, health inequalities within our society.

Healthy Eating

London Sustainability Exchange (LSx) aims to accelerate the transition to a sustainable London by connecting and motivating people. They work in partnership with business, government and the voluntary and community sector to help overcome barriers to sustainable development in London.
