We would like to invite you to our Hastings listening tour stakeholder workshop. The workshop brings together local VCSE and health and social care partners to discuss the issues affecting the local people, and how things could be improved. We will be exploring various topics including:
• Accessing primary care
• Social isolation
• Social determinants of health and wellbeing
Refreshments including a light lunch will be provided from 1:30pm, with the workshop beginning at 2pm. Feedback shared will be used to contribute to ongoing work to improve the health and wellbeing of local residents.

Are you new in post or keen to find out more about the sector?

Delivered by One You East Sussex. Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is a behaviour change approach that utilises the millions
of day-to-day interactions organisations and individuals have with people to support them in making positive changes to their physical health and mental wellbeing. MECC enables the opportunistic delivery of healthy lifestyle information and enables conversations about health at scale across organisations.
Members of the team at Seaview who have experience in delivering training agreed to support a group of people with lived experience of substance misuse to develop their own training programme, raising awareness about drug and alcohol-related issues among the wider workforce. Thanks to a small grant awarded and support from Dr Daren Britt, Principle Lecturer in Criminology and substance misuse at Brighton University, Seaview were able to recruit the peer trainers who developed training with a unique lived experience perspective with support from some experienced trainers. The result is Connect, lived experience drug and alcohol training.
