Camden is home to over 2,400 voluntary and community groups that play a crucial role in tackling poverty, inequality, and social exclusion. A strong voluntary and community sector is key to a fairer Camden, though the sector has faced challenges from austerity, the pandemic, and the cost-of-living crisis. We support Camden’s VCS with £4 million in grants, along with organisational and partnership development. Recently, we worked with Voluntary Action Camden (VAC), who led research to identify trends, challenges, and best practices in the sector. The report highlights broad issues affecting Camden’s VCS, while recognising the diverse needs of individual organisations. It emphasises the importance of both a strategic and tailored approach to strengthen the sector. We identified several areas of support needed including: ➡️Support to measure and communicate impact and social value ➡️Creation of a multi-agency data repository increasing data access ➡️Support to reimagine volunteering ➡️Collaborative investment in local workforce ➡️Workforce development hubs for training ➡️Access to affordable HR support ➡️Support with strategic, financial and operational planning ➡️A programme to build fundraising skills and capacity ➡️Investment in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems ➡️Consultation with equity-led organisations on their specific infrastructure support needs ➡️Build capacity of sector to engage with and address environmental and climate change priorities ➡️Programmes to improve use of technology and AI To find out more read the full Read the full State of the Sector Report. https://lnkd.in/eF8xXhGn

GP or pharmacy – do you know where to go? Young people aged 16 to 23 coproduced TikTok and Instagram adverts to raise awareness of the free, friendly health care available for under 25s in Camden as part of their Look after YOU campaign. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ehwj-vm6

📢Look after YOU campaign launches to help young people access health care in Camden Camden Council has launched Look after YOU, a communications campaign coproduced with Camden young people – to help more young people get the free health care they need, when they need it. The campaign includes information on sexual health, mental health, drugs and alcohol, and help to register for a GP. The campaign was developed to reduce health inequalities in Camden, after research showed that young people aren't getting the health care they need early or often enough. Look after YOU was coproduced by Camden Youth: Tell Them, our award winning group of Camden young people aged 16 to 23, who have been taking part in a paid communications and events programme funded by the Council. They have been working for the last six months to develop the campaign – including co-creating and starring in campaign reels and TikToks. They said: 💬 “We know that there are so many services to help under 25s in Camden but that young people don’t always know about them. Young people can also be put off getting health care because they feel embarrassed, are worried about costs or their parents finding out.  We hope that Look after YOU not only helps Camden young people to easily find the free healthcare they need, when they need it, but that they feel comfortable and confident using these services.”  Look after YOU is live on print and digital channels. Find out more at https://lnkd.in/e2CR5Du5 or if you’re a Camden organisation working with young people, you can support the campaign by downloading and sharing the digital artwork at Ebunoluwa Banjo Farjana Khan Shaima J.
