Join Young H&F for our 2nd roundtable discussion on Sexual Health & Wellbeing for young people in the borough.

This event is the 2nd roundtable in a series and is open to young people, those working with young people through schools, services or youth groups as well as healthcare professionals too.

This event is part of a wider project exploring the barriers which may exist to young people accessing sexual health services and information in Hammersmith and Fulham and how collaborative working can better support young people.

 

YHFF aim to use these roundtables to kickstart an action plan for working with our networks, health services, schools and other stakeholders to support young people’s holistic wellbeing. This event is an opportunity for cross-sector collaboration to shape the project with your views.

Campaigns #ZeroTolerance

 

The NHS in North West London is asking local people to respect the dedicated NHS staff who care for them by launching a #ZeroTolerance campaign to tackle threats of violence, abuse or harassment against NHS staff.

 

H&F CCG also launching our #ZeroTolerance campaign in response to the growing level of harassment of NHS staff that takes place online.

 

Threatening behaviour that targets staff members on social media such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram is unacceptable, but unfortunately increasingly common in the digital age.

 

We have a zero tolerance attitude towards any incident in which an employee is abused, threatened or assaulted, either in person or online, and will take legal action if necessary.

 

This includes:
–  Use of force that results in physical injury or personal discomfort
–  Serious or persistent use of verbal abuse
–  Staff who are assaulted or abused outside their place of work
–  Threatening behaviour that targets staff members on social media such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram

New music charity for London needs trustees

Tri-Borough Music Hub

 

 

New music charity for London is now seeking trustees to help us extend music education across all communities in west London, particularly for disadvantaged people. 

 

Musical Boroughs Trust has been granted registered charity status by the UK’s Charity Commission, so that it can start fundraising to help more young people and the wider community engage with music in three London Boroughs. Now it is calling for new trustees to help it in its work.

 

“Our next step is to complete the board of the charity, so if you are passionate about music, education and social impact we are looking for local people with fresh ideas to join our founding trustees, helping us to grow and represent our communities”, continues Stuart.

 

The charity seeks two young trustees aged 18 to 25 years, and also specialists who can offer expertise in fundraising, marketing/communications and finance/accounting.

A key aim of the charity is to reduce financial barriers to music education learning for local schoolchildren who face disadvantage, social deprivation, inequality and financial hardship. This includes discounted fees and bursaries for pupils.

 

A Year 13 pupil who studied music locally says

 

“I could never have achieved all that I did during the last 5 years without the work of the Tri-borough Music Hub as a whole. They care immensely about the way that music helps support children, especially in the most formative years of their lives. The new Musical Boroughs Trust is a fantastic cause and I hope that they can help support countless other young people to access music education.” Tiarnan Morrison, aged 18.

 

 

Musical Boroughs Trust is inviting local people to help the new charity in many ways including as potential trustees.

 

Supporters can also make donations, introduce us to potential funders, volunteer (e.g. for our “users voice group”), and generally spread the word.

 

All of these things can help secure the future of music education for people of all ages.
