Shoreditch Park and City Neighbourhood Forum returns

The Shoreditch Park and City Neighbourhood Forum is back and in-person! The meeting is open to any local voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisation with an interest in health or care, either based in or serving the people of Shoreditch Park and City Neighbourhood.
 
It's a space to get to know other local NHS and care professionals, residents, councillors and local authority representatives. Participants get the chance to swap information, share insights and better understand what's going on locally. 

Top of the agenda will be a special talk on Anticipatory Care - Activities and practises that help residents in late middle age to live in better health for longer. 

31 August, from 2-4pm, at Shoreditch Trust.

For more information,
email Jeanie, the forum's new Neighbourhood Facilitator.
