About

Join us for this webinar as we explore the key learning from the active involvement of VCFSE organisations in neighbourhood-level work with children and young people, as well as the potential for even greater engagement of the VCFSE sector in this work.

We’ll reflect on what emerging good practice looks like in Cheshire West and Sefton, share early learnings from the Beyond Programme’s neighbourhood health pilot programme  and consider the next steps for embedding this approach in local neighbourhood health initiatives.

This session is ideal for VCFSE leaders, local authority partners, health professionals, and anyone interested in co-producing services and community focused work with children and young people.

What to expect

  • Insightful presentations from leading VCFSE and NHS speakers
  • Examples from Cheshire West and Sefton
  • Discussions on the potential opportunities for development and further engagement in neighbourhood working
  • Opportunities to ask questions and join the discussion via the chat
