New Leeds Community Healthcare strategy aims to improve health and wellbeing of residents
Leeds Community Healthcare (LCH) relies on third sector organisations – charities, voluntary and community groups – to vulnerable members of the society, and to assist it to provide a range of services, including district nursing and mental health services.
The group is concerned that the current pandemic is having a significant impact on these third sector organisations, and wants to make sure they survive and thrive, and has launched their first ever Third Sector Strategy.
The strategy sets out a combined ambition to improve the health and wellbeing of Leeds residents by including them as partners in their own care, and has been jointly developed with Forum Central, which represents the city’s third sector health and care organisations.
Programme leader for the LCH, Dan Barnett, said “The LCH third sector strategy is about us being a good partner to the many brilliant health charities that are working within Leeds.
“They help us deliver better health services by connecting us with different kinds of community groups and by broadening out what our services can offer.
“Our commitment to them is to make sure that local charities are properly funded to do this and are supported to be successful.”
LCH’s board chair, Brodie Clark, said “Our Third Sector Strategy is about our shared aims for health and wellbeing and creating services which seeks to close the inequality gap particularly by helping to improve the health of the poorest.
“I firmly believe that we serve the people of Leeds and we can only do that if we listen, learn and act.”
