Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives: a cross-government strategy for England included a commitment to invest £30M between 2008/09 and 2010/11 in a Healthy Community Challenge Fund. The strategy stated that up to £5M would be given to a small number of interested local areas – badged ‘Healthy Towns’- to build on existing work in their communities and test out their ideas on what further action needs to happen to make activity and healthy food choices easier for people.
On 10 November 2008, the nine Healthy Towns were confirmed as: Tewkesbury, Halifax, Thetford, Tower Hamlets, Manchester, Middlesbrough, Dudley, Sheffield, Portsmouth.
