With significant health inequalities occurring in eleven of its 25 wards, Sunderland City Council and Sunderland Teaching Primary Care Trust have created a comprehensive city-wide Wellness Service to positively improve lifestyles and encourage physical activity. Delivery occurs through six Wellness Centres, often with other co-located services, and at other community locations which specifically target the deprived areas of the city. Over 7,500 residents are now members of these centres and there are over 300,000 visits each year.
