Welcome! You are invited to take part in one our our Nesta 100 Day Challenges.

Put simply, a 100 Day Challenge gives a team 100 days to try to improve something, to try something new and to work in a different way. It is a unique environment to work in as it encourages teams to:

• Work across boundaries - services and organisations that may have never met each other, are brought together to share their knowledge and resources. It is a great opportunity to work more closely with voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.
• Involve local residents and people with lived experience in the design of services and what we offer locally.
• Try something new - with such a mix of services and people, the teams are able to come up with new innovative ideas and ways of working.
• Act quickly - change can be slow the health and social care system, with only 100 days to act, the team has a sense of urgency. It is always amazing to hear how much has been achieved in such a short amount of time.
• Build relationships - not just as an integrated neighbourhood team, but with local organisations and residents too.
