Information for frontline workers
We are supporting Children’s Mental Health Week from the 5 – 11 February 2024. This is a national campaign, led by Place2Be, which prioritises improving children’s mental health.
This year's theme is ‘My Voice Matters’. The week exists to equip, empower, and give a voice to children and young people across the UK.
If you’ve ever wondered what some of our core children's partners do, how they work and how they connect to other parts of this system, these pathways might be a helpful starting point for you.
On this page, you can find guidance on how to edit your listings, update your contact details, accept and decline referrals and much more.
Sometimes you know what support you need, but getting the support can be a little difficult if you have to fill out online forms or complicated applications. These services can help you with form filling if you need it.
If you are awaiting decision, it means you are waiting for a decision about your asylum claim. On this page you can find out what support you can get while you are waiting.
Social Prescribing Link Workers (sometimes called SPLWs or Social Prescribers) work in GP practices and are part of the NHS.
SPLWs are here to help you to connect with community activities, groups and services to support the practice, social and emotional needs that affect your health and wellbeing, such as housing and money.
The SPLW will work with you over a fixed number of appointments to help you to achieve your health and wellbeing goals.
The Anti-Poverty Alliance brings together organisations and individuals from across Newham to tackle the causes and effects of poverty in the borough, feeding into the Mayor’s Cost of Living taskforce.
The alliance produces cross sector thematic action plans and develops new approaches to best support residents with the social determinants of health.
On this page you can find a list of all the funding opportunities currently open for organisations and people working with Newham residents.
