Hi martin and Lev

 

I hope you're both well and work at Faith in Action is progressing well.

 

As mentioned last time we met, the Fed is leading on a 3 year Citywide
programme which is about facilitating connections between third, public and
private sector organisations working with vulnerable adults in the City.
Ultimately, we are working towards developing a whole system approach to
reducing social isolation with a focus on preventative work to keep our
older residents healthy, well and independent. 

 

As a start point for this, we will be holding events in each of the City's 3
localities (East, West and North/Central) in September bringing
organisations together to look at ways isolated and vulnerable residents
could be better supported, including ways to reach out to those not known to
services, improving awareness of referral pathways and developing new ways
to meet isolated residents' health and well-being needs. 

 

Peter Wells and Dave Steell both sit on the partnership board and we are
currently looking for faith groups to be represented in the locality events
we are running in September, as follows:

 

The dates we have set for the locality events are:

.         16th September - East locality

.         23rd September - North/central locality

.         30th September - West locality

 

(Timings are 11.00-2.30 with lunch, venues TBC)

 

I would be grateful if you could pass this information on to your trustees
and networks, with myself as the contact for further information and/or
bookings

 

With warm wishes

 

Tracey
