Hello,

I hope you are well.

NNS Bridging Communities are organising an event on 7th May, 10:00am–2:00pm, and we would like to personally invite you to attend.

The session will be a great opportunity to learn more about the work we do, connect with other organisations and individuals from across Birmingham, and explore ways we can support each other moving forward. There will also be workshops and information on funding support delivered by Birmingham Community Matters, which may be particularly useful for those looking to develop projects or access funding.

Please note that there will be BSL Interpreters available.

Further details, including the full agenda, will be shared next week 😊

We hope you’re able to join us!

Community Conversation Roadshow - Bring the ASC&H Community Conversation Roadshow to Your Group

Dear Colleagues,

We’re delivering a programme of Adult Social Care & Health (ASC&H) community conversation roadshows across Birmingham and would welcome the opportunity to work with Neighbourhood Network Schemes and local community groups to reach residents in familiar, trusted settings.

These roadshows are not formal presentations or assessment‑led sessions. They are short, friendly conversations focused on early help, prevention, and helping people understand what support is available in their local community.

We’re particularly keen to join existing groups, activities and drop‑ins – such as lunch clubs, coffee mornings, faith groups, or community sessions – rather than setting up new stand‑alone events.

We would also welcome the opportunity for our Adult Social Care & Health colleagues and community partners to showcase their services before and after the event in a marketplace style for your members to take information away.
