You don't prescribe or program community, you contribute to it and invite it in. TheConnected.Community

While volunteering is of immense civic value-it’s vital to emphasise that there’s a difference between neighbour-to-neighbour civic action & #volunteering. Hence, the key to collective efficacy isn’t volunteering. It’s community building -of which volunteering/ism is a subset.

"Listen out for the terms like CYP, LD, MH, LDA, SEND, SEN, PD, PMLD any acronyms that are used to describe people: Can we get any less person centred than referring to someone as a set of initials?"

Great to be included in @socfuture's Glimpses of the Future 👀 #SocialCareFuture
"Local Area Coordination nurtures stronger, healthier, better-connected people and places. It prevents issues from escalating, reducing need for services and crisis intervention."

#LocalAreaCoordination is an evidence-based approach proven to prevent crises through early intervention and to support people who do not meet statutory eligibility criteria. Find out more at lacnetwork.org/evidence-base…, and start spreading the word! @Kent_cc
Think we need more area-based solutions. One thing alone will never be the answer for everyone but two starting points could be encouraging local authorities to sign up to the @Ageing_Better UK Network of #agefriendly communities and to explore @LACNetworkUK.
