CONNECTING LIVES - DEVELOPING A TASKFORCE TO ADDRESS LONELINESS IN TOWER HAMLETS Presented by Somen Banerjee, Director of Public Health.
At the Board Meeting on the 17 July 2018, it was agreed that establishing the loneliness taskforce should be one of the 2018/19 deliverables of the Communities Driving Change priority of the Health and Wellbeing Strategy. This paper will inform the approach for 2018/19. 6.50-7.00pm (10mins) Minutes: The Board considered the report of Dr Somen Banerjee, Director of Public Health, on the development of a Loneliness Taskforce in Tower Hamlets.
At the Health and Wellbeing Board on 17 July 2018 it was agreed that a Loneliness Taskforce should be formed as part of the Communities Driving Change priority in the Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
The idea stemmed from the Campaign to End Loneliness established by the Jo Cox Foundation.
Since Board discussions a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment on loneliness had been completed. The experiences of 600 local residents was published in 2016 and there had been two pilots in care homes where volunteers were paired with residents. The research culminated in a stakeholder event in November 2017 bringing the findings together.
Further to recommendations a Loneliness Taskforce had been established. The first meeting of the Taskforce was due to be held in December with a summit in January/February 2019.
Representation on the taskforce was sought from Members of the Board for the first meeting in December. It was noted that voluntary sector networks would be critical in the development of the workstreams.
A Member advised that the council’s existing projects on older people tackling poverty should feed into the Taskforce.
Members agreed that the Taskforce should include representation from housing providers and schools.
ACTION: Somen Banerjee to contact Board Members for a named delegate to the Loneliness Taskforce meeting in December 2018.
