St Margaret’s House is excited to be partnering with Social Action for Health, Women’s Inclusive Team, the Somali Senior Citizens Club and Tower Hamlets CVS on a pilot project which aims to develop a model of Neighbourhood Forums to support the voluntary and community sector (VCS) and residents’ involvement within Primary Care Networks. This pilot has begun in two Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in North and West Tower Hamlets.

The pilot project intends to:

• Build structures that support resident voice to influence decision making and resource allocation at a PCN/locality level

• Enable community organisations and health and care partners to work collaboratively in order to ensure accessibility for unheard groups

• Help populations have a better understanding of where to find the help they need and when they do connect, services are both accessible and culturally appropriate

Upcoming Forums:
