About us

The Neighbourhoods Programme brings residents, voluntary sector, health, education and care services together in City & Hackney to work together on what matters to local people and address health inequalities.

We believe that resident voices and building the community are important to the area’s health and wellbeing. We want to improve our services and ensure that we provide the best care possible. The key to achieving this is through feedback and involvement with people in the community.

We are committed to involving people in the community in a meaningful way in the planning, delivery, organisation and improvement of services. It is important to us that the views of people in the community are valued and acted upon.

We believe that people in the community should expect:

· To be treated as experts about themselves and their own health

· To be asked their opinion

· To have their views considered when decisions about their care are made

· To be fully informed and involved in the plan that is made for their care
