  • Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston
    Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston Bartley Green Reservoir INTRODUCTION Welcome to our fifth newsletter! This month we are focusing on Edgbaston Constituency. The Prevention and Communities (P&C) Commissioning Team are promoting the fantastic, and wide ranging, work happening all over Birmingham. This month it is Edgbaston’s turn to showcase some of what has been achieved with our voluntary and community sector partners. This newsletter will share Edgbaston stories from the different services this team manages and supports including: The Neighbourhood Network Scheme The Prevention and Communities Grants Programme Vulnerable Adults Grants What do we mean by Prevention? Adult Social Care’s Prevention First Vision is about supporting people to lead, “happy, independent lives in their own homes and communities.” Adult Social Care has been changing how we work, taking more time to listen and understand what a good life looks like for people. We are connecting them to the support they need in their community before looking at traditional forms of care. This is known as the Three Conversations approach. To ensure there is community-based support people need and want, our commissioning team have been investing in organisations that can deliver or develop this. Our focus is on support that can improve wellbeing and independence by: reducing isolation, increasing opportunities to be active, maximising income, helping to maintain homes and supporting carers. Please tell us what you think of the newsletter We would love feedback on the newsletter to help us make these really beneficial for social work teams and others who would find these updates useful.

This report, which in effect is a summary document aimed at kick starting the process of rejuvenation and renewal, aims to provide an understanding of the key events that have made Chamberlain Gardens what it is today, a well-used and attractive local public open space. 1.3 In so doing we are indebted to the support and information provided by the Friends of Chamberlain Gardens notably Norman Bartlam, a local historian, who has provided us with a range of historic material. 1.4 The report is divided into a number of sections commencing with a historic chronology, illustrated by newspaper articles of the times, assessing the distribution of trees which are so important as they are often a physical legacy of previous stages in a site’s development over time and then a section on ideas and themes which can be incorporated into a landscape masterplan for the gardens.
