My London: Enabling Youth Social Action

8/4/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Heston West Big Local has been selected by the GLA to partner on the My London: Enabling Youth Social Action programme. This programme has been developed in response to the growing concern around young people’s mental health due to the impacts of COVID-19.
​
This programme, delivered by Team London and match funded by the #iwill Fund, puts frontline youth sector organisations at the heart of developing models of youth engagement for young people in their communities.
​Partnerships of five community organisations will be resourced to take part in a six month Design Lab where they will use their local knowledge and frontline expertise to co-design a model that will increase participation opportunities for vulnerable young people and amplify youth voice in their boroughs. Our partnership will then be able to apply for ringfenced funding of £200,000 to deliver our co designed model in Ealing and Hillingdon. 
​The overall purpose of this programme is to improve mental health outcomes for young people. But along the way we want to support youth organisations to collaborate in order to provide more sustainable opportunities for youth social action at a local level.

Hounslow Council are pleased to announce the Push Doctor project has almost completed the roll out of a partnership with 46 GP Practices in Hounslow, to provide additional GP video consultations to over 300,000 patients in the Hounslow community. This not only offers greater access for patients, but Hounslow GPs can use the capacity to address local challenges. For example, enabling local GPs to focus on their patients with complex needs or relieving workforce pressures arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a heart-breaking impact on our community and it is important that patients don’t delay seeking help for medical concerns. Push Doctor enables patients to see an NHS GP for free through a video consultation in a place that they feel comfortable, using a smart phone, tablet, or computer.

Push Doctor and Hounslow Consortium will be joining the Community Champions meeting on Wednesday 10th March 2021 at 5:30pm to explain more about the service and answer your questions.

Please feel free to join, even if it is your first time. You are welcome to keep your cameras off and stay muted. Please email publichealth@hounslow.gov.uk to gain access to the meeting.

The five pillars are:
 
Food Insecurity
Tackling food waste
Access to healthy affordable food (this will include food growing, access to markets, healthy food etc)
Supporting older and vulnerable adults
Addressing health issues (diabetes, obesity)

 

Hounslow Council have set up an event for each workshop. If you would like to get involved with these online workshops, please register your interest for the one(s) you wish to attend below by clicking on the link:

A few days before Christmas we delivered festive hampers to 50 families in our local community. We focused on families and residents whom previously received our Covid-19 essential food parcels during the first lockdown and a few volunteers.

​The Christmas hampers were kindly donated by Sapna Dhall and Mimi's Coffee and Dessert Lounge in Hounslow. We also prepared our own hampers supported by chef and author Manju Malhi.
