THCVS Health & Wellbeing Forum


 

The Health & Wellbeing Forum is a collaborative partnership among the third sector organisations in Tower Hamlets that aims to improve health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities for residents in the borough.

The forum aims both to empower communities to engage effectively in debate with health services – to enable statutory services and health professionals to hear, understand and respond adequately to the health needs of the communities, which the members of the forum meaningfully engage with and provide services to. The forum is managed by a steering group elected from its membership.

Representatives from third sector organisations in Tower Hamlets are welcome to attend and be a part of the forum. For more information or if you wish to become a forum member please email Alison Robert – alison.robert@thcvs.org.uk.

 


 

The next Health and Wellbeing Forum will be held on Thursday, October 10 · 10am – 12pm at the Tower Hamlets Professional Development Centre, 229 Bethnal Green Road, E2 6AB.

In this session, we will aim to better understand what work is being done to include the seldom heard/hidden voices in health and social care, how can we move from consultation to action?

In this session we will discuss and share:

  • Work from across the sectors.
  • Ways people are working.
  • Ways and opportunities to affect change.
  • Understand how previous and new research can help to build evidence base to affect change.
  • Aim to better understand who are the hidden voices and build greater understanding of what organisations are doing to amplify their voice.

There will be presentations from Age UK Camden and local organisations supporting residents in health and social care.

For more information, please email alison.robert@thcvs.org.uk.
