General Practice Alliance (GPA)
General Practice Alliance (GPA) is a federation run and owned by GPs, representing more than 30 practices in Northamptonshire. Together, we collaborate on local projects to promote services, aiming to improve the health and wellbeing of the local community.
Our Pledge
I commit to ensuring our staff refer to activity on referral and other schemes around Northampton borough, our personalisation teams will provide people with time to talk and encourage activity as part of their personalised plan, and we will enable choice by highlighting all the services available locally through our wellbeing launchpad, and share this resource across the borough with services and the public.
Helen Macmillan – Personalised Care Lead
South Northants Volunteer Bureau (SNVB)
We are committed to supporting the Voluntary and Community Sector in South Northamptonshire by providing information and guidance for local organisations and delivering community services to improve peoples lives
Our Pledge
I pledge to give a voice to the many older people who are currently marginalised so that their diverse experiences and the issues that matter to them are represented in policymaking. I am determined to reduce disparities in ageing. Inaction is ruining lives, putting pressure on public services, and damaging our economy. We also need a shift in social attitudes so that negative and distorted views of ageing do not undermine efforts to reduce stark inequalities and to ensure we properly value the contributions of older people to our society.

West Northamptonshire Council
West Northamptonshire Council is the single unitary council responsible for providing a range of public services to residents and businesses in the areas of Daventry, Northampton and South Northamptonshire.
Our Pledge
I am excited to announce our pledge as a Council to ‘Move Northamptonshire’ which further supports our commitment to developing more active lifestyles for our residents, together with our partners. As a council we recognise that being physically active throughout our lives is crucial for the development of good health and wellbeing and by pledging our support to ‘Move Northamptonshire’ is a step further in helping us to achieve a healthier and active West Northants for all who live and work here.
Bringing together partners across Northamptonshire will help provide residents with more opportunities and access to physical activity, as we look to bring together greater collaboration and awareness of healthy lifestyles across a person’s life course.
