Earlier this year a survey of over 1,250 charities revealed that 58% don’t have a defined digital strategy, yet of the 42% that do almost all are more optimistic and expect to increase their measurable impact in 2018*.
“… unfortunately, (there) is a growing divide between charities with progressive, digitally-savvy trustees and executives versus the majority of others, which are falling behind and risk missing out on opportunities to improve the way they fulfil their missions”
Matthew Moorut of TechTrust
We don’t want any charity to fall behind. That’s why we’re running the Charity Digital Conference 2018 where industry experts will demystify all things digital.

The North West London CCGs are committed to working with local residents and community groups on producing our equality objectives. ‘Equality objectives’ are the goals we set to ensure that we are working in an inclusive way to meet the diverse needs of our local residents.
Equality objectives should be specific goals that we can measure, which reflect your needs. Under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) of the Equality Act 2010, we are required to prepare and publish specific and measurable equality objectives every four years.
We have already engaged with a wide range of local residents, both face to face and via survey, to ask what they think our priorities should be. We are now keen to work with you to: check you’re happy with our North West London objectives; work with you to decide what our local equality objective should be; and start planning how we will make these objectives a reality over the next four years.
We recognise that North West London is not a small area, so we are providing three opportunities, in different locations and at different times, to take part in these workshops:

Hammersmith and Fulham’s Integrated Care Programme is working to improve health and well-being outcomes for local people by integrating care around individuals’ needs. When we talk about integrating care, we mean that a group of existing, local organisations need to work more closely together to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in H&F. To achieve this, we need to:
- Look at what we know and what people have already told us, because improvements must be based on understanding what local people need.
- Work together to develop and achieve the results that really matter to local people and help them to lead healthy lives.
We would like to invite you to a workshop focusing specifically on health and well-being priorities for older people. We would be most grateful if you could circulate this invitation to relevant patient and public networks and/or friends. We are seeking attendees who are older people with lived experience of using NHS services, and/or their carers.

Last year, Hammersmith & Fulham council ran an emergency response ‘hackathon’ with local community organisations, where we came together to see how we could help each other in an emergency. On the day, it was decided we needed a space online to work together in the event of an emergency, and also that we should set up a training day to show more about what we do. With this in mind we have set up a Community Resilience Event on Saturday 7th July from 10am to 2pm (including lunch) at Hammersmith Town Hall and we would love you to join us.
The Community Resilience Event will include showing how we provide for displaced residents in a fully operational rest centre, how our extensive CCTV network assists in managing incidents, and seeing some of the command and control vehicles from the frontline services we work alongside. There will be a presentation to attendees for them to learn more about what we do, as well as professionals in attendance to answer questions. There will also be an opportunity to sign up for specific further training such to train your staff/volunteers as rest centre officers. To book your place on this event (2 places per organisation are available), please email camilla.mcbrearty@lbhf.gov.uk or call 07748 932 584 for more details. Once we have your interest, I will send the official invitation with more info.
In addition, we’ve built and launched a ground-breaking new community emergency response website! The “extranet” allows us to include chosen partners in a website designed to help us work together in an emergency to achieve the best outcomes for our community, therefore strengthening our community resilience. It’s also a place where we can communicate with each other and share vital information before, during and after an emergency event. If you would like to be a member of this website, please email camilla.mcbrearty@lbhf.gov.uk so that you can be added.
