Thanks to the fantastic community groups who came to the launch of our Connect & Collaborate programme. We heard from ppl supporting homeless groups in Canning Town, building community for older gay people across the borough, helping young people in mental distress, & much more.
A key theme to emerge from discussions was the extent of the need across Newham. Everyone was working in some way to alleviate problems around mental ill health and loneliness. The idea of connecting with other groups and pooling resources appealed.
Our next Research Café is in Bromley by Bow at 11.30am on 20th October. Come along to discuss all things health & social care research, and help your community be part of local research. Register your place: tinyurl.com/dnraawxp More details: [email protected] #Newham
