You don't prescribe or program community, you contribute to it and invite it in. https://t.co/bpsGK5k9x9

[Cormac Russell @CormacRussell]

While volunteering is of immense civic value-it’s vital to emphasise that there’s a difference between neighbour-to-neighbour civic action & #volunteering. Hence, the key to collective efficacy isn’t volunteering. It’s community building -of which volunteering/ism is a subset.

"Listen out for the terms like CYP, LD, MH, LDA, SEND, SEN, PD, PMLD any acronyms that are used to describe people: Can we get any less person centred than referring to someone as a set of initials?"

"Local Area Coordination nurtures stronger, healthier, better-connected people and places. It prevents issues from escalating, reducing need for services and crisis intervention."

[Ralph Broad @RalphBroad]

@LACNetworkUK You can't solve exclusion, inequality, crises & service 'demand' with a system that is intentionally designed to wait for crisis/harm to happen or a quick fix. We need a stronger focus on building individual, family, community capacity, resilience, relationships, mutual support.

[LACNetwork @LACNetworkUK]

#LocalAreaCoordination is an evidence-based approach proven to prevent crises through early intervention and to support people who do not meet statutory eligibility criteria. Find out more at https://t.co/OJGLzgkJ1S, and start spreading the word! @Kent_cc
