Funded by the North East and North Cumbria (NENC) Population Health and Prevention Board, VONNE has established a cross-sector Healthy Communities & Social Prescribing Network for the North East and North Cumbria. This virtual forum works to foster development of collaborative relationships, sharing of information and learning, and to build stronger connections between social prescribing leads within the NHS, Local Authorities and the VCSE sector - including those also involved in the Thriving Communities Network who are based in the North East or North Cumbria.
