The Shaping Places for Healthier Lives programme focused on taking system-wide action to improve health and reduce health inequalities across five projects in England.

It was funded by the Health Foundation in partnership with the Local Government Association and set out to learn about local government-led systems approaches to address the wider determinants of health (economic, social and environmental factors).

Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council received partnership funding (just under £300,000) from 2020-2024 to develop sustainable solutions to local food insecurity through a systems change approach.

Here you can read the ‘Shaping Places for Healthier Lives’ report (April 2025), which summarises the Shaping Places for Healthier Lives project across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG), the approach taken when working with local areas and community partners and the key impacts and learning achieved.
