Fairer, Healthier Liverpool Organisation Accreditation
Liverpool is a Marmot City. This recognises the city’s commitment to tackling health inequalities and improving the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.
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 accredited organisations.
