An introduction to Community Roots
The Community Roots service has three teams, focussed on co-producing health and care services alongside Expert’s by Experience to improve LSCft’s support in preventing, navigating and recovering from accessing health and social care services.
Our focus is a little different to traditional models of health care, focusing on preventing ill health, living well with a diagnosis and connecting people to a wide variety of opportunities and support in their local community.
We believe there’s power in community and learning from your lived experiences of accessing services will improve prevention and support people’s recovery beyond services. Working alongside our colleagues and partners, we’re here to support you in equitable and inclusive access to wellbeing services across Lancashire and South Cumbria.
It’s inevitable we’ll all need to access health and social care services throughout our lifetime. Together we aim to make it easier to navigate these complex systems whilst working alongside a wide range of community partners to ensure you know what’s available and how to access local opportunities.
