Prevention & Early Intevention
 – the Third Sector Role in Powys

Thank you to those who have responded to my invitation to PAVO’s Annual Conference and General Meeting, which will be held this year on Tuesday 8th November 2016.  Please find the updated programme attached.
It is widely acknowledged that third sector organisations and services have an essential role to play in prevention and early intervention. This conference will explore how these services could be an integral part of a common direction in Powys.
Conversation groups will focus on key prevention services, namely Befriending, Home Support, Community Co-ordinators, Children & Families, Practical Support, Mental Health & Wellbeing, Transport, Information/Advice/Advocacy, Community Delivery and Volunteering.
We are fortunate to have keynote contributions from senior managers in Powys County Council and Powys Teaching Health Board.
After lunch there will be an opportunity to influence matters that are currently the subject of public consultation or strategic engagement, namely Day Services, Domiciliary Care, PTHB Heath & Care Strategy and Commissioning.
I very much hope you can join us for the event. Coffee will be available from 9,30am before the commencement of our AGM at 10.00am. Lunch will be available for those staying for the afternoon.
PAVO’s AGM and Annual Conference provide a great opportunity to meet other colleagues in the sector, as well as partners in other sectors to share information and good practice.
To let us know if you are able to attend please complete the online booking form, telephone: 01597 822191 or email: ruth.middleton@pavo.org.uk.
I look forward to seeing you on 8th November.
