Do you work for the voluntary, community or social enterprise sector (VCSE) within Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly?
Following the successful Pluss social prescribing webinar held in June 2020 on Chaos TV, we’ve organised another exciting session on Friday 29 January between 11am to 1pm.
Interested in learning more about social prescribing? We’d love to have you join us.
What are the main aims of the webinar?
- To be a part of the Cornwall wide focus to ensure our communities benefit from social prescribing and VCSE are supported to deliver this for the NHS Ten-year plan
- To continue the conversation about social prescribing and the impact on VCSE
- To share key findings from the survey which seeks to understand the impact of social prescribing on the VCSE sector within Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
- To identify next steps for VCSE and social prescribing within Cornwall and IoS
Who will be speaking?
- Decision makers to community makers
- People who have benefitted from social prescribing, sharing what is important to them
