Our strategy
Empowering communities through collaborative partnerships and innovative programs.
Empowering communities through collaborative partnerships and innovative programs.
We are committed to empowering communities to improve wellbeing and reduce health inequalities through collaborative partnerships, innovative programs, and a holistic approach to physical, mental, and social health.
We strive to create sustainable health outcomes by fostering local leadership, sharing knowledge, and advocating for equitable access to healthcare services.
Within the Derry City and Strabane District Council area, we experience worse health outcomes than the NI average.
We are committed to harnessing the great assets available by working together with all of our partners to tackle the factors which cause ill health and build resilience within our communities.
We work with individuals, families, and workplaces, focusing on those facing health inequalities and wellbeing challenges. Our projects provide support and resources, empowering communities and organisations to build healthier, more resilient environments.
Developing Healthy Communities offers a wide range of health and wellbeing programs that address mental, physical, and social health, ensuring a holistic approach to community health improvement.
With a focus on grassroots initiatives, DHC effectively engages with local communities to understand their needs and tailor programs that foster community resilience and wellbeing.
The organisation leverages research, data, and evaluation to inform their programs and initiatives, ensuring that their interventions are effective and based on the latest health data and community needs.
We envision a world where every individual has equitable access to the services and support needed to thrive physically, mentally, and socially. Our goal is to create healthier communities by prioritising wellbeing in all decision-making processes, ensuring that health equality becomes the norm and that every person can achieve a healthy, happy life in the place they call home.
