ACTIVE AND SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITIES - KEEPING FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CONNECTIONS

WE STATEMENTS
- We make sure that people can keep in touch and meet up with their family, friends and people in the community who are important to them.
- We make sure that people have opportunities to make new friends and build relationships with other people who share their interests, culture and identity.
- We work in partnership with others to make our local area welcoming, supportive and inclusive for everyone.
- We work in partnership with others to create opportunities for people to work, both paid and voluntary, and to learn.
- We have a clear picture of all the community groups and resources in our area and use this when supporting people and planning services.
- We invest in community groups, supporting them with resources – not necessarily through funding – but with things like a place to meet or by sharing learning, knowledge or skills.
- We make sure that personalised care and support plans are co-produced and set out how people can be as active and involved in their community as possible, doing things that are important to them.
