Health and Community Care Forum
Newcastle Health and Community Care Forum (HCCF) aims to promote the voluntary sector voice in social care and related health issues. There are HCCF meetings on issues as they come up, and occasional conferences and workshops - information will be posted on this page. Recent topics have been Alcohol Matters, social care and long term conditions, support for refugees and asylum seekers, involvement in the Newcastle Well-being and Health Partnership and health policy. Members receive the newsletter, On the Hoof, plus occasional briefing papers and reports. NCVS also includes regular information on health and social care issues in its weekly ebulletin, NCVS e-inform.
Free membership is open to all Newcastle voluntary
organisations and community groups, service users and carers. For more information about HCCF, upcoming meetings, or to

involvement of the sector in the work of the Local Strategic Partnership,
specifically the Well-being and Health
Delivery Partnership. The Well-being and Health
Delivery Partnership is responsible for delivering on the city's Health
Improvement Strategy. This reference group is a chance to meet your
elected representatives to, and other executive members of, the Partnership, and
to put forward your views on how a healthy, happy Newcastle can be achieved. This voluntary sector reference group usually meets every six
weeks. The Well-being and Health Delivery Partnership is a theme
group of the Local Strategic Partnership known as the Newcastle
Partnership. Voluntary sector involvement with
the Local Strategic Partnership is supported by NCVS's
Regen Project team and the Regen Forum. For further information please email
