Hi Everyone,

Firstly, a big thank you to everybody who came along to our recent event - your input, feedback & passion is helping to shape & grow the Collective!! If you didn’t manage to make it this time we hope to see you at our next gathering early in the New Year.

It was really encouraging to have such an enthusiastic & interactive session attended by individuals & organisations from across Plymouth & the wider Devon area.

Presentations included the Personalised Care Framework & exploring why boundaries are important in the work that we do with people.

Plans are in the making for our next event which we hope to hold in January 2024 so watch out for updates & more info coming soon…..

Healthy Communities Together

Healthy Communities Together is built on three hypotheses.

  • Outcomes for communities (especially reducing inequality) are better served by VCSE sector and statutory bodies working in equal partnership towards a shared agenda.

  • Investment is required to support the participation of VCSE organisations as equal partners.

  • Effective and sustainable partnership working is an active learning process that benefits from expert support to work differently through shared leadership of change.
