Celebrating Community Services week takes place from 16-20 October 2023, shining a light on the role, breadth and importance of community health services.
Hosted by the NHS Confederation and NHS Providers, the campaign exists primarily on social media using #CelebratingCommunityServices to bring services to life, celebrate the sector's successes and the impact this has on people's lives.
In 2023, our focus is on the difference community services make for children and young people, and we will feature a series of videos from our members and beyond.
We are asking community providers to get involved to share their successes – whether it's a case study, a testimonial, a shout-out to your team or more using #CelebratingCommunityServices. The main thing is to raise the visibility of these services.
As part of our Celebrating community services campaign, we have produced a number of short videos to share stories of those working in community services and the value their roles bring to the sector and their careers.
