The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives, our communities and our country in so many ways. As a vital part of local government, local (parish and town) councils stepped up and responded to the crisis and supported their communities and residents. Being at the centre of community effort has further cemented their role in providing local leadership. It is why local councils are pivotal to building back stronger and better and to shaping thriving, resilient future communities.
This one-day online conference will be your chance to hear from high-profile experts and leading figures from local and central government and national organisations.

A webinar on the challenges of working in the voluntary sector. Appreciation and understanding of the role of the sector, caring for yourselves and each other.
Wednesday 7th July @ 4pm (via Teams)
Dr Leon Fletcher-Tomenius and Magnus Irvine of Here For You service will facilitate a reflective practice session for managers during a 50 mins to an hour online reflective space.
This will be a space for managers to talk about their recent experience of working through the pandemic and how this has impacted on them with a particular focus on the challenges of the changing environment, understanding of the role of the sector and being reactive not proactive.
Mental and physical health are closely related. People who live with long-term physical conditions are twice as likely to have poor mental health as those who do not. It is highly likely that this has increased further during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We spoke with people living with long-term conditions, their family members and the healthcare professionals who work with them, to understand the relationships between having a long-term illness and people’s emotional and mental wellbeing, and to identify ways of improving people’s experiences and outcomes.
The report shows the impact long-term conditions can have on people, their relationships and jobs; what helps; what support is already available and works; and what needs to change to better emotionally support people living with long-term physical ill-health. We are aware that in many places clinicians are supporting people with their mental health, but it is not always the case that emotional wellbeing is brought up.
If you work in healthcare, social care, the voluntary sector or not-for-profit sector in Essex or Hertfordshire and need someone to talk to, we are here for you.
You can call us 24/7 to confidentially to talk through any problems you’re facing, whatever they may be.

Over six million people in the UK are carers, looking after a rela-tive or friend. Regardless of how much care you provide or the type of support you give, caring can impact on your health and well-being.
Caring means something different to everyone; one thing carers tell us all the time is that they cannot keep going without a break.
Essex Carers Support are inviting carers (18+) who live in the Essex County Council area to take part in our project. They would like to talk to you about the importance of self-care and assist you in planning some positive and rewarding time for yourself; something that reflects your own interests and is of your choosing. This can be done individually or, if preferred, can include the person/persons you care for.
Grants up to £100 are available to help you achieve Time 4 You. See Below for examples:
Find more examples on the Essex carers Support website or get in touch for a chat about what you’d do with some ‘Time 4 You’:
