"The absence of illness alone is not a key determinant of health and community well being. The Bridge Partnership provides a vehicle for developing many interlinked wider determinants such as education, employment opportunities, disposable income, quality housing, safe environment and a sense of community."
Dennis Preston, Chief Executive, Craigavon and Banbridge Community Health and Social Services Trust
