Bolton Director of Public Health Annual report 2024-25: Work and health
Our health and our work are deeply connected. Good work can support mental wellbeing, provide financial security, build purpose and community, and help us live longer, healthier lives. On the other hand, insecure employment, poor working conditions, or being out of work can significantly impact physical and mental health, widening inequalities that already exist across our borough.

Bolton Director of Public Health Annual Report 2023: Community matters
This year’s report looks at health and wellbeing from a different perspective. Often, when we look to understand what is influencing the health of individuals and communities, we focus on ill health and disease. This is an important approach and informs the development of services to address these issues. However, we can also consider what factors promote good health and sustain wellbeing. To do this we look to understand what strengths and resources in our communities are helping them to stay well, sometimes referred to as a community asset-based approach.
