About this network
The Forum is a learning space to network virtually and share ideas and resources about how members are tackling inequalities, promoting participation, and improving health and wellbeing through community-led action.
Together, Forum members decide what the focus of the peer-to-peer learning sessions will be, using their knowledge and experience to identify the most relevant topics, and connect with others across different sectors and disciplines.
Community Development and Health Network leads on the coordination of the Forum, with oversight from the Public Health Agency and the Strengthening Communities for Health Steering Group.
