Building Community Capacity Practitioners Network meeting - 12th December
Routes to Wellbeing: making a positive difference
The main theme for the next Building Community Capacity Network event is perspectives on wellbeing.
Agenda
We will be asking participants to participate in an exchange of ideas to influence and contribute to a forthcoming TLAP roundtable event with national system leaders including Simon Stevens, Chief Executive of NHS England. The purpose of the roundtable is to take stock of the Engaging and Empowering Communities shared commitment in the context of the NHS Long Term plan and the social care Green Paper and, importantly, agree next steps.
As always we will be showcasing examples of innovative approaches and are delighted that Christine Eade from The Pod will be joining us to talk about how a traditional day centre for people with severe mental illness became a catalyst for social change and is now an award winning community hub. Jodie Stus, from the social enterprise Dance to Health will describe their pioneering and community focused approach to falls prevention.
We will hear about research carried out by the Richmond Group of Charities highlighting the importance of recognising that one of the most complex challenges facing the health and care system - people living with multi morbidities – is a social issue as much as a health issue. And colleagues from the University of Birmingham’s Sustainable Care programme will present findings from research carried out across the four countries of the United Kingdom
To support colleagues to move from policy to practice we will introduce TLAP’s new #MakingitReal framework and show how this can be used to champion innovative approaches to wellbeing.

Our network brings together a rich mix of people, including people with lived experience; practitioners from across social care, health and housing; organisations who are developing innovative approaches to supporting people; commissioners; and people working at the national level in policy/research and other roles.
