Its focus is those with Learning Disabilities, Mental Health Illness, Chronic Respiratory Disease, Early Cancer Diagnosis and Hypertension, and work with the Gypsy, Roma Travelling Community.
The project is about listening, involving and working with the community to co-design programme with a focus on our chosen Core20Plus5 priorities; being the bridge between communities, link workers and health and care services to raise awareness, increase knowledge, understanding and signposting to health and care services.
