Funding Secured for New Project

by

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Members of HANA, I am glad to inform you that we have secured a two year funding from the Social Prescribing Grant to provide a ‘Health and wellbeing Community Hub’ for the benefit of individuals and families from Black and Minority Ethnic Communities in Hull.

The project would introduce a health and wellbeing aspect to HANA’s current community development based work, where we will offer sessions to the memberships for a start and then get into the wider communities who currently do not use any of our services.

We will do this by focusing on bringing people together for healthy social activities to reduce loneliness and associated negative mental health due to social isolation.

Where language barriers are often an issue, HANA’s staff, volunteers, and members speak a range of languages and therefore can often break down the communication barriers faced, so they can for example translate health service letters and therefore aid the access to health services by non-English speaking members of the community.

For further information on how to refer and contact the project team, you can either email or call

Social Enterprise and Creative Care (BA Hons) – a new degree at Hull University

by

Are you interested in a career where you use your ideas and energy to help people to find solutions to social issues and problems? Perhaps you are already a volunteer in an important social project? Maybe you are looking for a challenging and rewarding role that has a positive impact in your community?

The University of Hull is launching a new degree in 2019 that aims to equip graduates to become successful social innovators and creative charity workers. This new programme, called Social Enterprise and Creative Care (BA Hons) will enable graduates to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence that they need to thrive in independent social businesses such as social enterprises or charities.

Much of the degree will focus on social care issues and solutions but our approach is wide. The course will help you to think about how creativity and innovation can enhance the lives of disadvantaged communities and individuals or people with other social and economic barriers in their lives. A key part of our approach will be to introduce students to some amazing innovators and pioneers who are keen to share their stories, insights and enthusiasm. One of the most exciting features of the programme will be the opportunity to work with a partner agency to develop a new initiative or project that will bring clear benefits to a group or a location. We will support you to put your enterprising ideas into action!

If this sounds interesting and appealing then please have a look at our website to find out more or get in touch directly and come and meet us – d.marsland@hull.ac.uk
