2010 Year of Health and Well-being

2010 is the Year of Health and Well-being in the Liverpool area of the North West of England.

To promote the initiative, health actors in the community are promoting the 5 ways to well-being, which are proven to make a real difference to the way you feel. Building these actions into a daily routine could add up to 7.5 years to the life span of participants as well as contributing to emotional well being - and feeling good is an important part of being healthy!


2010 Year of Health and Well-being

The five ways to well-being are:

- Connect
- Be active
- Take notice
- Keep learning
- Give

Pledging support to 2010 Year of Health and Well-being

Throughout 2010, the Liverpool health community will be asking organisations across the North West region to support the Year of Health and Well-being by pledging to take action linked to the 5 ways to well-being. More information is available at www.2010healthandwellbeing.org.uk.

Spring 2010 will see the launch of the Workplace Well-being Charter, designed to help and guide organisations of all types and sizes to improve the health and well-being of employees. Further details will be added to the 2010 website in April.
