The Hub is a forum for everyone involved in promoting mental wellbeing across the county, facilitated through the Devon Mental Health Alliance. This event will focus on research engagement, with attendance from senior members of the research community who are keen to meet with you and explore how we can work together to improve outcomes for service users.
The event will also act as the platform for the launch of the VCSE Assembly’s Research Community of Practice. Funded through the REN (Research Engagement Network) research project, the Community of Practice will form an ongoing connection point for VCSE connection into research activity. Funding is also available for training to upskill VCSE organisations in research practice, and we would like to use this session to co-design this training with you.
Lunch will be available along with space to catch up with colleagues at the end of the session.
Further details will be released in the build-up to the day. This will be a hybrid session, with options to attend physically in Exeter or remotely. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email tom@devonmind.com.
About the Mental Health Hub
We know that there are lots of great networks already up and running, so the Devon VCSE Assembly Mental Health Hub is not intended to cut across any existing activity. Rather, it will be a collaborative conversation space to meet colleagues from across the VCSE and statutory services with the intention of sharing challenges, best practices and thinking, in the hope that this will organically enable opportunities to improve outcomes for the people we support.
The VCSE Assembly’s Mental Health Hub will meet on a quarterly basis, reporting into the overarching One Devon governance structure to share feedback and recommendations for system change. Whether you’re a grassroots delivery organisation or already work at a more strategic level, everyone is welcome to attend. We recognise the strength and insight that will be gained through the participation of a wide variety of people.
About the Devon, Plymouth & Torbay VCSE Assembly
The Devon, Plymouth and Torbay VCSE Assembly is a ‘community anchor’ bringing together independent charities and community-led organisations across the county. Together, we are multi-purpose and aim to provide holistic solutions to local problems and challenges. At a local level, our members are often the driving force in community renewal. We aim to support, complement, and add value to local VCSE networks and partnerships, including Local Care Partnerships.
The Assembly is not a membership organisation — anyone who wants to be involved can be. Instead, we are a space where people, communities, and organisations can contribute and engage in improving how important services are designed and delivered in Devon. For more information, visit the Devon Communities Together website.
