Our mission

We work with the people and our partners who live and work in Suffolk to build effective foundations to support healthy people, healthy places and healthy futures.

The variety of the work means there is always something new and exciting taking place, which provides plenty of opportunities to learn, informally and formally.

I am passionate about making a difference in people’s lives by making things better for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in my community. Working in Public Health gives me the opportunity to do this.
