Our vision
We want Perry Barr and Ladywood to be flourishing communities, where:
- a focus on disease prevention through health education, early intervention and addressing the wider determinants of health results in a fundamentally healthier population
- local people are helped to support and care for each other
- professional help, including excellent health and care services, is accessible to everyone
- residents know how to get the help they need
- life expectancy is good for everyone, from birth onwards
- people from all backgrounds experience wellness at all stages of life

We want a future where our public services:
- actively listen to and work with local people and organisations as equals
- work together
- support each other
We want to be:
- actively helping to bring about this change in our communities
- a champion of co-production
- a loudspeaker for our communities’ voices
- an equal, valued and ambitious delivery partner for health and social care that really improves people’s lives
Creating our own momentum, but working collaboratively, our first priorities will be:
- to build trust between third sector organisations and care providers, especially the NHS
- within a challenging landscape, to advocate for and help to bring about successful primary care relationships for all, recognising it as the gateway to many health and social care services
- to support the various areas that contribute to healthy pregnancies, births and early childhoods, such as maternal health and wellbeing, infant feeding and childhood vaccination
- to address issues of specific relevance in our area, namely asthma, diabetes and obesity
- to create a sense of community, mutual support and equal partnership through clear, regular communications and telling people’s stories
