Join the GM Live Well Team to collaborate on the next GM Live Well event taking place in March 2025. This in-person event will focus on ‘everyday support in every neighbourhood’ for health creation, social connection and economic inclusion.
This session is an opportunity to shape the next system wide Live Well event right from the beginning! The team want this event to elevate the work you are already leading around everyday support across GM, as well as looking at solutions to some of the systems barriers you are facing in growing your approaches.
Please bring with you any ideas you have for the event; from how we can make it inclusive, important topics to be addressed, projects or programmes that may wish to share their learning, what has worked well or what could be improved from previous events, and much more.
Learning so far has showed that some of these things might be important to grow community-led support and action:
- Accessible and equitable information, advice and activities (incl. digital)
- Communities shaping services and support
- Community connectors, social prescribers, navigators and informal community networks
- Peer support and advocacy groups
- Culturally competent, trauma informed, strength based, flexible everyday support that meets people where they are
- Inclusive and welcoming spaces (community cafes, Public Living Rooms, conversations, places of hope, outreach to the places people are)
- Asset Based Community Development and community leadership
The March event will invite people and organisations to:
- Forge connections across the people and places in GM doing this work, and grow the movement
- Share stories, practice and learning about communities readily taking action on the things they care about
- Explore what it takes to broaden residents’ opportunities to be healthy, happy and connected, through a variety of accessible and equitable activities, support and information in their neighbourhood
This Live Well co-design session will take place over Zoom - the link will be sent to you once you have registered your interest.
