Minutes:

Representatives of the Community, Voluntary and Faith Sector Reference Group (CVFRG). Presented this report which provided the latest updates and proposals from the Reference Group. Three documents - The Community Hub Handbook; The Connected Society; and A Community - Powered NHS, Making Prevention a Reality – were to be the main documents used to inform the delivery of the prototypes, the formation of partnerships and the transformations at community level. The CVFRG had been involved in the formation of a Transformation and Partnership Steering Group, with appropriate representation from Wirral Council, Wirral NHS and the CVFRG. It was noted that the workers for CVFRG were volunteers. The representatives spoke of the health value of green space infrastructure including some planned community gardens and there were seven pilot social prescribing projects to enable people to have health benefits from the gardens.

 

Resolved: That the contents of the attached reports be noted, and the continued development of the programmes for engagement with communities and residents be supported.
