As an update on the mapping work of faith locations that has been carried out in Burnley, am sending you three pieces of information which, as we continue to develop systems level working, we hope you find useful and will be able to make use of.
a. a single spreadsheet containing the raw data for the three questionnaires (family support / food / mental health) for churches + mosques. These give details of provision, times, and contact details. Normally we offer this on request - however, in Burnley our relationships and systems thinking are already well developed. b. links to the interactive maps for Family support, Food and Mental Health In August last year we commenced a new contract (funded by L&SC ICB) working in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society to deliver post diagnostic support County wide. For Age UK Lancashire, this meant the roll out of our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Programme across Lancashire and the development and running of 9 Dementia Information Hubs, one of which would be in East Lancashire.  |
