This was a webinar from the Asset-Based Commissioning Hub established jointly by Think Local Act Personal and Social Care Future.
The webinar focused on community lounges in Stoke-on-Trent and the role they play in offering a welcoming first conversation for people needing support across the City. Jenny Pitts from NDTi and Andy Wilshaw, from Stoke-on-Trent City Council presented about this work. A team from the Universities of Hull and Sheffield presented on how to better evidence strengths-based preventative work.
There is no recording of this webinar, but slides and other resources are shared below.
