           Health for Life project


           Our Health for Life project, which featured in the
           pages of last year’s annual review has continued to
           be recognised as an exemplar piece of research.
           The project was submitted for consideration
           for presentation at the Public Health England,
           Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Conference
           and was selected with our Director of Portfolio
           Management, Alan Carter, and Managing Director of
           Green Gym, Craig Lister presenting in front of health
           professionals at the event at Old Trafford.
            Alan also presented the research findings at a
           Place and Health Day organised by the Landscape
           Institute, and it was nominated for awards at the
           Horticulture Custodian Awards and the North West
           RICS Awards.
            We give thanks to the members of our Health
           Advisory Group for their assistance and support over
           this last twelve months. The wealth of knowledge they
           bring to the Trust is greatly appreciated.
