Marmot Accreditation
The Marmot City accolade was presented by Professor Sir Michael Marmot in April 2025. While this was an important milestone, it is only the start of Liverpool’s journey.
To continue strengthening local efforts, Fairer, Healthier Liverpool (FHL) is developing a network of Marmot Organisations.
