Neighbourhood Health
The Integrated Care Board (ICB) have now produced their Strategic Neighbourhood Health Plan.
The Plan can be viewed here
The Plan explains how ICBs, local authorities, Health & Wellbeing Boards and other partners should create and deliver neighbourhood health services, and this includes the VCFSE.
It defines ‘neighbourhood health’, describes the challenges services should address, establishes clear metrics for success, maps the process systems that should be followed to set local metrics, and defines the roles of ICBs, LAs, HWBBs (Health and Wellbeing Boards) and other partners in designing and implementing the model.
It establishes clear priorities for health and how that might roll out into Neighbourhoods.
More information will be forthcoming so check back regularly to our News Items.
Introduction to AI for small charities
Join us for introductory interactive training on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help your small charity improve efficiencies, enhance communications and support fundraising efforts.
You’ll learn about opportunities for your small charity or community organisation to use AI creatively and in an informed and safe way. You’ll take part in quizzes, discussions with peers and start using commonly used AI tools and techniques for your everyday work.
You’ll also gain a policy or guidance template you can adapt for your organisation along with further resources to support you to take the next steps in your AI journey.
This course is being developed in partnership with NAVCA, Superhighways, Councils for Voluntary Services in the UK and Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire. By taking part and giving feedback you will be supporting other small organisations to learn more about AI.
