Prevention Newsletters

Prevention Newsletters

The Prevention & Communities commissioning team and BVSC produced Prevention Newsletters between 2021 - 2023. These showcased the way in which the third sector is working with the Council to enable citizens to lead healthy, happy and independent lives in their own homes and communities.

These newsletters include information on Neighbourhood Network Schemes and Prevention and Communities Grants. In addition, the grants distributed due to Covid features too – Vulnerable Adults Grants and Emergency Food Programme. Each newsletter focuses on a constituency as well as highlighting some of the city-wide prevention activity. The newsletters produced so far are below.

From 2024 onwards these have been replaced by impact reports. These can be found: https://www.bvsc.org/neighbourhood-network-schemes-in-birmingham If you would like to receive these when they are sent out email [email protected]
