Kirklees Rural (ideally shared by several organisations to reflect the large area and distinct communities)
TSL Kirklees has a new contract to establish a revised Community Anchor network across Kirklees, in partnership with Kirklees Council. The new network will help build capacity and connect local communities, respond to local needs, and work alongside both Third Sector Leaders Kirklees, the Council’s Place Based Working colleagues, and local Primary Care Networks and health colleagues.
Each of the lead anchors will be a voice and asset for their community, and focal point for community services. They will provide support for smaller local groups, promote community activity and resources to social prescribers, and build local networks. They will help recruit the satellite anchors for their area.
The role comes with a small amount of funding for approximately 18 months.
