Activity support for people living with a learning disability or long-term conditionWe know that people with a disability or long‑ term health condition are twice as likely to be inactive as those without. It's vitally important to create a culture where people have access to resources that support them on their journey to moving more for good health. A key enabler for people with a disability or long‑term condition to be active is opportunities that are inclusive of their specific needs. Healthcare workers and other professionals with whom they already have a relationship are also a trusted source of advice. Active Notts has created this leaflet as starting point for professionals to be able to signpost to relevant resources. Download it and take a look!

'Take a Partner to Work' schemeSouth Notts Place-Based Partnership has recently set up a scheme called ‘Take a Partner to Work’. The scheme promotes partnership working by supporting colleagues to buddy up and take each other to work for either half or a full day. Colleagues are encouraged to do these sessions two or three times a year with different people from across the partnership. The premise is simple, you approach a buddy, based on what area of work you would like to learn more about and find a mutually appropriate day. Read the ground rules here. Recently, Helen Smith, South Notts PBP Programme Director and Gregg Dunning, Interim Group Manager: Community Social Work and Therapy, Adult Social Care and Health Department, buddied up and spent a day visiting each other’s places of work, meeting teams and learning more about what they do. Read all about their experience and reflections here.

Get involved with your community in CotgraveLaunched in November 2023, the Cotgrave Integrated Neighbourhood Working Project aims to bring people together to better support the health and wellbeing of residents and make improvements to, and create opportunities in, the community. This way of working has also been rolled out to other areas to as part of the work of South Nottinghamshire Place-Based Partnership. It involves local people, community and voluntary sector groups, and organisations like the NHS and local council working together for a happier, healthier Cotgrave. And it’s been in the news recently, with the BBC Radio Nottingham Breakfast show visiting Cotgrave over a week in January as part of its ‘Ey Up’ campaign to highlight some of the great work and activities happening in the area through this joined-up way of working. Read all about it on our website!

'Ey-Up' EastwoodVerity Cowley from BBC Radio Nottingham ran her breakfast show live from the library in Eastwood on 21 January and it was a fantastic opportunity to highlight the amazing groups and work going on in the community to improve the lives of local residents. A campaign in Sweden was set up to boost moods and tackle loneliness with a ‘hello’. BBC Radio Nottingham thought it would be a great idea to get around the county and say it, like only Notts can. Simply saying ‘Ey Up’ to each other, can be a way of reaching out and making someone’s day brighter. As part of the programme, Yvonne Gregory, Community Development Officer for Rushcliffe Community Voluntary Service (RCVS) talked about how the Integrated Neighbourhood project in Eastwood is working to combat loneliness and isolation. Local councils, health and social care, community groups and voluntary sector organisations are working together with communities to find ways to improve the health and wellbeing of local people.
