Started my day with a listen of the @HealthFdn's latest podcast - hearing the similarities and differences between Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester, as well as the fundamental (yet complex!) way to tackle health inequalities - 'ask people what they need to live better lives'

The same messages keep coming up time and time again but the podcast also raised how entrenched inequality is, and how systemic change - namely driven by a bottom up, frontline approach, is really needed for our communities to see a difference in their lives

Getting stuck into the next @WHMmanchester report today - so many good stories to tell! I might need several people to edit this down at some point, I don't want to leave anything out 🙈

Yesterday, @Harriet_MCR said 'When we say we want things to be 'Community Led', communities can think we expect them to do all the work, but we're here to do that work too' and I thought it was a really clear way of putting one of the main barriers to 'community led' work...

The expectation that communities need to bear the burden of all they want to achieve - especially in communities who are most in need of support - is unrealistic and places the onus on them to fix themselves...

When really, what we're saying is 'What would you love to do in your community? What can we do with you? What do you need us to do for you?' We say 'with, not for' a lot in this work, but there's still a place for 'for' if that's what communities say they need.

The @WHMmanchester Community Development Fieldworkers have worked so hard to try out new ways of working with communities when they can't be physically present - love seeing this stuff happening
Thank you to @WHMmanchester for these activity packs. We have given out 6 today to local families.

Really felt this blog from the fantastic @CatDRees: 'The vulnerability we are all experiencing right now is transforming our lives, our systems and processes and it has given us permission to focus on what really matters.' ideas-alliance.org.uk/hub/20…
