Prevention Newsletter December 2020 Issue 1: Focus on Northfield Prevention Newsletter December 2020 Issue 1: Focus on Northfield INTRODUCTION TO COMMISSIONING TEAM & BVSC Welcome to our first newsletter! The Prevention and Communities Commissioning Team want to share some of the fantastic work happening in communities all over Birmingham. For December we are focusing on Northfield constituency as well as explaining some of our city-wide initiatives. To help develop your local knowledge and to showcase the wide range of initiatives we will focus on a different constituency each month. Through these newsletters we hope to explain what we have achieved with our voluntary and community sector partners to support Three Conversations and the ‘customer journey’ restructure. BVSC also work closely with the team so we will take the opportunity to explain their role. All our work is contributing to Adult Social Care’s Vision: “For Citizens to lead healthy, happy, independent lives within their own homes and communities.” We will be sharing examples and ‘stories of difference’ from across all the different services and support we manage. This includes Neighbourhood Network Schemes, the Prevention and Communities Grants Programme, our Covid-19 response, Vulnerable Adults Grants and the city-wide Information, Advice and Guidance contracts. We would love feedback on the newsletter to help us make these really beneficial for social work teams and others who would find these useful.

Prevention Newsletter December 2020 Focus on Northfield 4 Focus on Digital Exclusion Internet Access The ability to access modern technology has never been more important, with those unable to contact family and friends, place online orders or access information becoming increasingly more disadvantaged. In addition, so many daily tasks from booking a medical appointment to checking a bank balance can be easier and quicker online. Keeping connected digitally has become a necessity. Before lockdown digital exclusion was one of the "wicked issues" that NNS teams had identified. During lockdown, when buying online became more of a necessity for many, face to face activities were cancelled and families were unable to visit, this challenge became a real priority.

  • Weoley Castle
    Weoley Castle Weoley Castle is a cherished community site. The ruins are over seven hundred years old and are the remains of a moated medieval manor house that once stood there. It was once protected by its walls but now it is protected by the Castle Keepers. Come rain or shine volunteer Castle Keepers care for the site and do everything from practical maintenance to research and running activities for the local community to enjoy. Thanks to the Castle Keepers visitors can enjoy a whole array of events; making crafts in the community classroom, having a guided tour of the site, and even seeing history brought to life with the annual Living History day. The Castle Keepers have transformed the site and the community’s understanding of Weoley Castle, they are hugely valued by Birmingham Museums Trust. However, volunteering is a two way street and there has to be something in it for the team too. Jo, one of our Castle Keepers says “I enjoy the company, the variety of things that we do and the fact that we are out in the open and doing something valuable” and they certainly are. The research they are doing on mason marks will help historians for years to come, the community benefits hugely from having such a great range of family activities on their door step, and visitors from far and wide can benefit from the impact of the maintenance work as the ruins can be viewed from a viewing platform which is open every day.
