Every community needs a place to meet, share experiences, build connections and access support.
We’re excited to join @RayneFoundation @platformplaces & @LondonYouth next week for this #Anthropy25 panel on the future of community spaces 🌟

I highly recommend a read of the latest Life in the UK report.
An annual collective Wellbeing Index, based on what people across the UK have said about thier social, economic, environmental and democratic wellbeing.
Thanks to Carnegie and @wearenewlocal for hosting a really enjoyable roundtable discussion this evening, exploring how we best respond to the report findings and put wellbeing at the heart of decision-making.
The results are very aligned with our Greater Manchester priorities: #GMLiveWell, #GMHousingFirst, #MBacc, #BeeNetwork, #SaferStrongerCommunities and the #Environment.
And the report recommendations provide a healthy reminder of how important it is that we boldly continue work - locally, regionally and nationally to:
1. Measure what matters
2. Repair democracy
3. Take a fresh approach to governing

📢 New report highlights the need to invest in community capacity for successful social prescribing
NASP & @LocalTrust with the CRESR at @sheffhallamuni, showcase how local people can shape and lead programmes tailored to their communities' needs: ow.ly/b0Jz50UJY02
ALT “While the NHS roll-out of social prescribing has proved successful, the next steps should include ensuring long-term, sustainable support for community-led schemes. Bringing together funding from different sources to develop locally designed programmes, and ensuring these are well connected to the health system, can have huge benefits. This approach can play an important role in the shift to prevention and to more health support being available in communities rather than hospitals.”
