Wellbeing and prevention – What can we do together? 
(for smaller voluntary, community and faith groups)
In June three of the networks hosted by T3SC held a joint event to look at the area of the prevention of ill health and the promotion of wellbeing, with Tameside Council’s Wellbeing and Prevention Unit. Over 60 people attended from the Health and Social Care Network, Community Action for Tameside’s Seniors (CATS) Network and the Faiths United Network to hear from the council on how they are planning to improve wellbeing and prevent ill health in Tameside. Discussion focused on where they would need help from groups and helping groups to get to know one another across different networks so we can all work closer together in the future.
Groups looked at the three key areas the council identified and were asked to look at what their groups could do and what they would need in order to contribute.
