Hull VCSE Thematic Assembly - Neighbourhood Health in Hull East Area

Overview

Join us for our next bi-monthly VCSE Thematic Assembly, which this time will be focussed on VCSE service delivery in the East area of Hull, to help inform Neighbourhood Health developments.

VCSE Thematic Assembly: Neighbourhood Health in Hull East Area

Our new VCSE Thematic Assemblies are an addition to our current schedule of monthly Assembly meetings held by Sector Connect. Additional to the Information and Networking Assembly meetings you will be used to, this new thematic format provides an opportunity to come together and examine more closely specific themes.

The aim for these thematic meetings is for those operating in a similar field to come together to raise awareness of their work; to explore current delivery and identify gaps and opportunities to meet local need and strategic priorities; to facilitate co-production on opportunities between the Public and VCSE sectors; and to respond to new funding and service delivery opportunities through collaborative working.

The next thematic Assembly will focus on Neighbourhood Health in Hull East Area. The aim of this meeting will be gain a greater understanding of current VCSE delivery in this area, and the potential for further development. Attendees will receive an analysis of the demographics and specific health inequalities in this part of the city, before moving on to a workshop to explore:

· Services delivered by attendees in this area, along with any other data or assets held.

· Current gaps in service delivery or barriers to access.

· Next steps for service development and delivery opportunities.

Further thematic Assemblies will follow focussing on both the North and West areas of the city.

The aim is that by the end of these sessions, a clear picture will be formed of the role that the VCSE sector currently plays in the delivery of Neighbourhood Health, as well as its potential future role. This will be presented to Hull City Council and the ICB as an evidence base of VCSE involvement and collaboration, as they start rolling out the Neighbourhood health agenda and associated models of funded delivery.

Whilst this Assembly will be open to all, spaces are limited and will be prioritised to those who operate or deliver services in the East Area.

Arrival and coffee will be from 9am, and the Assembly will start at 9.30am.
