VCSE Health and Wellbeing Networks

We run regular events in Newcastle and Gateshead for VCSE organisations, focused on health and wellbeing. These events share the latest health service updates and give the VCSE sector a stronger voice in the health system at a place based level.

We run separate networks for Newcastle and Gateshead.  The Newcastle events also cover issues of social prescribing for the VCSE sector. The Gateshead events will link to the Gateshead VCSE Health Alliance.
