The Priority Neighbourhood Development (PND) programme in Worcestershire focused on small, high-need geographical areas identified through analyses of emergency hospital admissions and socio-economic data. Work in the socio-economically deprived Westlands housing area is described in detail. Community development workers mapped local assets and deficits, enabling residents to challenge stigmatizing narratives and build positive place identity. A resident-led working group was established and supported with a devolved budget, facilitating locally determined actions such as expanding counselling provision, enhancing community facilities, developing arts and nature-based projects, and improving skills through training and youth-led initiatives. Co-location and outreach by health, housing, voluntary sector, and policing partners reoriented services towards prevention and accessibility. Evaluation after 18 months showed reductions in emergency hospital admissions and children\u2019s social care referrals, improved wellbeing, and reduced social isolation. Qualitative feedback highlighted increased empowerment, strengthened community action, and improved access to support. The model has since been scaled across the County and embedded into local policy and commissioning frameworks. The PND Programme demonstrates how neighbourhood-level investment, resident leadership, and cross-sector mediation can meaningfully reduce health inequalities and build healthier, more resilient communities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daag105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,19]],"date-time":"2026-07-19T11:34:21Z","timestamp":1784460861000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Ottawa Charter in practice: community-led action to reduce health inequalities in the UK"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6769-5825","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa","family":"McNally","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Health Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT ,","place":["United Kingdom"]},{"name":"Worcestershire County Council, Wildwood, Wildwood Drive, Worcester WR5 2QT ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"901","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daw022","article-title":"Applying the Ottawa Charter to inform health promotion programme design","volume":"32","author":"Fry","year":"2017","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"297","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daab037","article-title":"A brief overview of a wide framework\u2014health promoting schools: a curated collection","volume":"36","author":"Gugglberger","year":"2021","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B3","author":"Hood"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B4","author":"Office for National Statistics"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daag048","article-title":"Health promotion at the crossroads: putting civil society in the driver\u2019s seat","volume":"41","author":"Shiroya","year":"2026","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/dap021","article-title":"Meeting the challenges of the Ottawa Charter: comparing South African responses to AIDS and tobacco control","volume":"24","author":"Taylor","year":"2009","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daaf143","article-title":"40 years of the Ottawa Charter for health promotion\u2014reaffirming health for all","volume":"40","author":"Thomas","year":"2025","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B8","author":"Worcestershire County Council"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B9","author":"Worcestershire County Council"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B10","volume-title":"Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion","author":"World Health Organization","year":"1986"},{"key":"2026080309022799500_daag105-B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"ii216","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/dar079","article-title":"Health promotion and health systems: some unfinished business","volume":"26","author":"Ziglio","year":"2011","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"}],"container-title":["Health Promotion International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/heapro\/article-pdf\/41\/4\/daag105\/70468542\/daag105.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/heapro\/article-pdf\/41\/4\/daag105\/70468542\/daag105.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]],"date-time":"2026-08-03T13:02:32Z","timestamp":1785762152000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/heapro\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/heapro\/daag105\/8750166"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/heapro\/daag105","relation":{},"ISSN":["0957-4824","1460-2245"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0957-4824","type":"print"},{"value":"1460-2245","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2026,8]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]]},"article-number":"daag105"}}
