Knowledge into action - 2025

In 2025, our focus was turning knowledge and learning into action on the most pressing issues facing communities. We introduced our new format and instead of focusing on speakers, we hosted keynote listeners who were there to hear our network’s experiences and insights and work with us to ensure that our collective knowledge and experience is better understood and fed into work at the national level.

From a lack of funding to the impact of burnout, community organisations and wider partnerships tackling inequalities on the ground are facing huge pressures just to keep the doors open and the lights on. We heard those concerns clearly from participants, with big questions remaining about how we sustain this important work, and the impact the current environment is already having.
 
We also heard how valuable peer support and learning are, and why it's never been more critical to talk honestly, and collectively, about how we can work better together to address the issues facing our communities.

Our annual conference is also a great way to get involved in the community-led health conversation and the resources from recent conferences are available for you to browse through.
