NASP Housing Workshop 2: Housing associations as anchor institutions
Event date
About this event
This workshop will explore examples of how social housing organisations are:
- Addressing the gaps in referral to existing services
- Stimulating growth in the services being provided
- How anchor institutions can work together between housing, the NHS, local government and other sectors.
Invited Speakers: (speakers may change and we will keep this page updated)
- Orbit, speaking about their 'Breathing Space' programme
- Hyde, speaking about their 'Financial Shield' programme
- Poplar HARCA, speaking about their partnership work through 'Well One'
Aimed at social housing providers, and their voluntary sector and health partners, we'll look at housing providers with dedicated social prescribing roles, as well as those where social prescribing is part of a number of jobs, and examples of resident-led schemes.
