In 2019 the Hastings Community Network held a Social Prescribing event looking at the following questions:
How can we help people connect with resources in the community?
How can we ensure that those who need it get the right information and support?
How can the health impacts of this approach be captured?
We heard from over 80 local organisations that they were keen to implement Social Prescribing in their organisations. We are now revisiting Social Prescribing to learn about the progress made since 2019. If you would like to learn more about Social Prescribing and how to implement it in your organisation and where to access resources and staff training to do so, register for a place at this popular event.

Hastings Borough Council (HBC) is in the process of drafting a new Housing Strategy for the town. This will be a five-year strategy with the aim of adoption by the Autumn 2025. It will set out how HBC will meet their ambition for everyone in the town to have a decent place to live. HVA are working with HBC to facilitate a session for community organisations to comment on the draft strategy.
Book yourself a place to take part in this important conversation.
MECC (Making Every Contact Count) is a practical introduction to the skills in talking to people about the issues they are concerned about or the changes they are seeking to make. It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things that could help them. So if your work brings you into frequent contact with people and you want to improve the likelihood of making a real difference this training could be for you. A light lunch will be provided.
Are you new in post or keen to find out more about the sector? This workshop, led by HVA Director Steve Manwaring, will include a briefing about the scale and contribution of the VCSE sector in Hastings, information about the services HVA provide, and an opportunity to hear about and discuss the key issues affecting the sector.
