Summary

This report is a 10-year review of the Marmot Partnership work in Coventry.

Coventry became the first Marmot city to act on the recommendations from Sir Michael Marmot’s report ‘Fair Society, Healthy Lives 2010’. Since then Coventry has worked collaboratively to embed the Marmot Principles and proportionate universalism in their work to take collective action on the factors that shape Coventry residents' health and well-being.

This reflective summary showcases examples of Coventry's Marmot work, including activities taking place that support access to better jobs, education, and training opportunities, increased financial stability, good quality homes, and healthy nature-friendly green and blue spaces.
