The LGA Annual Conference is the biggest conference in the UK local government calendar. It provides an opportunity for senior representatives from local authorities and the business and voluntary and community sectors to participate in a wide-ranging programme focusing on the issues that matter most to local communities.
The LGA Annual Conference and Exhibition is a must-attend event for senior representatives working in local and central government as well as senior colleagues from other public sector bodies, charities and business. The conference offers a wide range of engaging sessions and speakers covering the most important issues in local government.
The Health Foundation will be exhibiting at the LGA Annual Conference and Exhibition 2023 event on 4–6 July 2023. Come along to the Health Foundation stand (P45b) to say hello, pick up some publications and talk to our colleagues about our work on promoting healthy lives for all.

Sessions with Health Foundation speakers
Levelling up requires funding to tackle place-based inequalities and investment in the services that support good health, wellbeing and life chances. But recent research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), funded by the Health Foundation, has shown that current funding systems for key public services do not properly reflect differences in needs, and funding changes over recent years have actually exacerbated rather than reduced geographic inequalities.
This session will present new IFS work mapping areas where levels of funding and levels of need are misaligned and the consequences of this will be discussed, particularly in regard to schools funding. Delegates will also hear how different areas are responding to these challenges and look at what changes are needed to Government funding to really make progress in tackling place-based inequalities in areas including health, educational outcomes, lifetime earnings and housing quality.
