This week we shared our our latest learning in a webinar attended by 100 people from a wide range of backgrounds across health and social care.

This resource, produced through collaboration between a number of organisations, focusses on understanding and aligning link workers and community capacity building.
C4PC is sharing new insight focussed on understanding how best to align link worker and capacity building activities with optimum success. The resource explores a place-based approach in York and Wakefield, and highlights the importance of community strengthening roles including how individuals and communities can best take control of their own lives and environment to maintain good health and well-being. Sign up to attend the webinar and find out more.
Amongst growing concern that health inequalities in the U.K. are adversely affecting the roll-out of the national Covid vaccination programme, C4PC is drawing together a broad range of partner organisations to provide valuable insight from a range of perspectives which could help to tackle the issue.
