The Voluntary Sector's Place in the New NHS Plan:
Community of Practice session - March 12th, 10:30am to 12:30pm over Zoom.

This session will cover real life case studies of health inequalities within VCFSE sector work, collaboration within the sector, and will start to explore co-design and co-production as well as the commissioning process.

We would really appreciate your support in sharing the upcoming CoP session across your networks and encouraging colleagues to attend.

Strong attendance from across all NEL boroughs is essential. It is vital that the insight and expertise of the VCFSE sector is properly represented, and that voices from across the sector are heard.

To reserve a place, please email info@compostlondon.org.uk and you will be sent a Zoom link a few days before the event.

What a great night Friday was!

Thank you to + .care for delivering an excellent fundraiser in Hackney.

Julie, a Paris-based designer, has raised over £1,000 and counting for our charity through the sale of her Zine, and the auction of personally-designed shoes.

We want to thank everyone involved in this event, and the first in Paris.

The funds will go towards our work delivering mental health and wellbeing support for those in the boroughs of Hackney, Waltham Forest and the City of London.

If you're interested in getting involved with events like this, or would like to purchase a Zine - get in touch!
