Richmond Council's Health and Wellbeing Board is updating its framework to strengthen its focus on prevention and health inequalities.
Richmond Council's Health and Wellbeing Board reviewed and updated its Terms of Reference in October 2026, aiming to strengthen its strategic leadership role. The Board, which serves as Richmond's senior place-based partnership for health and wellbeing, is now prioritising prevention and tackling health inequalities across the borough. This renewed focus is intended to better reflect the evolving health and care landscape.
The updated framework clarifies the Board's emphasis on prevention and reducing health inequalities, which are areas often supported by voluntary community sector organisations. These non-profit groups provide essential services and support to the community. The Board's revised approach could influence future collaborations and resource allocation within the sector.
