By understanding needs and concerns we are able to identify gaps in service provision and make recommendations to improve the public and community services people use.
We work with public sector and voluntary sector partners to design, pilot and scale up a range of community services and interventions, offering frontline support to diverse groups in targeted and innovative ways.
We bring:
- Focus on user needs to the design of new services
- Experience of partnership working and capacity building to help voluntary sector organisations to scale up services in the community
- Expertise in project monitoring and impact evaluation, to create meaningful frameworks to analyse the success of community interventions and services.
Examples of our community intervention services
Cancer Community Links
We work in partnership with NHS North Central London (NCL) Cancer Alliance to support people in Haringey who are living with, or beyond cancer. The service provides free, non-medical information and help to support people with their wellbeing.
Haringey Advice Partnership
We are a key partner in this Information, Advice and Guidance service led by Citizens Advice Haringey and commissioned by Haringey Council. Our team provides local outreach and engagement, identifying needs in the community and targeting specific community groups, with a particular focus on health and social care information and support.
Haringey Community Collaborative
The Community Collaborative ensures that the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) in Haringey is stronger, able to attract more funding and deliver better services.
Haringey Reach and Connect
Our team of six ‘Community Connectors’ provide independent information, guidance and support to enable people over 50 to improve their wellbeing, with a focus on signposting, short term support and workshops.
Social Prescribing
Our Social Prescribing team and Health and Wellbeing Coach are a key part of Primary Care Networks (PCN) across Haringey, providing a holistic approach to an individual’s health and wellbeing, and empowering them to have more control.
