Would you like to help improve the health of your employees, customers and the community? The Sutton and Merton Responsibility Deal are inviting you to work together, by pledging to make changes which encourage healthier lifestyle choices, to help improve the health of the people that live and work in Sutton and Merton.

Sutton and Merton Public Health are developing a local project – and their goal is to work with businesses to develop workplace initiatives around physical activity, healthy eating and general wellbeing. They are inviting businesses to work together with them by pledging to make changes which encourage healthier lifestyle choices.

A number of sporting clubs and associations are partnering them to offer some fantastic opportunities – including great football and tennis activities with AFC Wimbledon and the Lawn Tennis Association.

They're also working together with a range of local food businesses to highlight and develop healthier, more balanced choices on their menus. Businesses can also choose to work towards The Healthier Catering Commitment; a London wide programme supported by the Mayor of London.

The Sutton and Merton Responsibility Deal have created a menu of pledges that you can choose from or why not develop your own your own unique pledge.
