Brilliant news!
Social prescribing doesn't help communities if core funding goes to prescriber organisations and not directly to communities actually tackling health inequalities. Need to define what it means to prescribe rather than to work collectively with communities and connect people.

Did you know that 1 in 5 children in NI are growing up in poverty? Did you know that there is no plan for eradicating poverty in NI? We are at @NIA_Communities today to discuss the urgent need for an Anti-Poverty Strategy so that no child grows up in poverty. Watch at 12:15 ⬇️

"If health inequalities are increasing, inequalities in society are increasing, and dealing with these inequalities is urgently needed." @lu_hiam, @BobKlaber, @SoSowemimo, and @MichaelMarmot call for action to tackle the UK's social determinants of health bmj.com/content/385/bm…
Since Stormont returned we've been repeatedly calling for child poverty to be tackled head on so we welcome today's focus on delivery & action. We back the @SDLPlive call for timelines & targets & encourage cross party support & unwavering commitment to tackling the root cause.

Read it and weep for how we got here and then be inspired to change. So much to absorb as always when @BryonyShannon writes about relationships and caring.

It's worth taking the time to read this short but powerful interview with the brilliant Hilary Cottam showing that another way is possible based on caring for each other. It requires leadership at all levels to innovate and support new ways of working beyond comfort zones.

At a time of deep inequality, so many struggling to have enough food to eat, public services on their knees and going bust … the waste of £400,000 of public money on a discredited inhumane ideological project is utterly amoral and criminal theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/m…

Thank you @RobinSwann_MLA 🙏 it is definitely a key priority to have investment in a stable workforce to enable social workers to be present and accessible for people when they need that relationship; not just at crisis point. Happy world social work day to all social workers.

Thanks to @SorchaEastwood for meeting with some amazing Young Adult Carers to discuss their experiences & key asks relating to services, education, employment & carers rights! Recognising their contributions through caring as well as their aspirations for the future is crucial ⭐️
