Healthwatch Central West London Statement: The quality of public services available equally to all citizens should be one of the key factors against which we judge how our society is functioning. How then do we see life in central and west London in the aftermath of the terrible fire at Grenfell Tower? The shock continues to be felt by the community, and is now joined by a deep sense of injustice, sadness, and perhaps even shame that this could and should have been avoided. The tragedy at Grenfell Tower has sadly demonstrated that voices from the local community regarding the provision of service are not always heard or acted upon. Over the coming weeks and months, we will continue to provide information on where to find help, support the network of community groups we work with, ask questions, and gather people’s experiences of health and social care through this difficult time. The role of Healthwatch is to champion the community voice in health and social care, and to support those communities to challenge, influence, and change how health and social care is provided. Grenfell Tower shows the importance of not only listening to people’s experiences, but also acting on what they say, and as Healthwatch we are determined to play our part in making sure that the public’s experiences of health and social care are voiced and heard. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with all of those affected by the fire at Grenfell Tower.’ Information and Advice: Mind Kensington & Chelsea has put together information on where to find emotional support for if you have been affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. This includes community support, listening services, and useful tools to manage your mental wellbeing. You can view and print their leaflet by using the link. If you are concerned about your mental health, NHS England has produced a trauma leaflet to help support your wellbeing following the tragedy. We have also put together an easy read version of the leaflets for the NHS. Please click here

Why Sports Media Group are proud to present the Creating Active Communities Conference to be held at The Royal Society of Medicine, Wimple Street, London on the 21st September 2017. Councils and their local partners are perfectly placed to lead a step change in sport and physical activity participation rates that will improve the nation’s physical and mental wellbeing. Not only are councils the biggest public sector investor in sport and physical activity, spending in excess of £1.4bn per year, but their understanding of our communities enables them to target opportunities and encourage mass participation. Local Authorities have a critical leadership role to play in bringing organisations such as schools and voluntary sports and activity groups, National Governing Bodies, County Sports Partnerships, health and the private sector together in a place to unlock barriers to participation through collaboration and partnerships. The reasons why people don’t participate in sport and physical activity are multiple and complex. They include cost, transport, poor facilities, time, the environment and people’s perceptions. Barriers vary between places and communities and therefore need to be addressed locally so that the necessary interventions can be targeted to individual’s needs. Councils and their partners, including Sport England, seek to have local understanding and intelligence to recognise the barriers to participation and lead collaborative action to overcome them working with communities. The Creating Active Communities Conference aims to provide an outline of the nations ambitious ideas and seeks to expand on the insight of how, with a collective approach, we can prioritise investment and skills to deliver active communities for all. This conference is a must attend for all those working in sport and physical activity, central and local government, academics, students and practitioners alike and those who believe that the local government has an important part to play in delivering activity across the nation.
