Rising with the Tide: The Coastal Navigators’ Network First Prospectus

This full report from the Coastal Navigators Network (CNN)—a collaboration between NHS England and six coastal Integrated Care Boards—brings together eight months of learning, data, and innovation from the frontline of the nation’s coastal health challenges. From youth support in Felixstowe to suicide prevention in Thanet and housing-linked employment in Sussex, it showcases scalable interventions that tackle the root causes of poor health and economic exclusion.

A Fair Chance

An innovative programme led by Dr. Jon Bashford and Joel Rennie, culminating in a take on employment solutions suggested and led by local people – a community-designed Job Fair held at a local community centre attended by place system partners in a show of putting talk into action, and directly tackling some of the challenges presented to us by the community.
