Themes in second meeting.

We are a mixed group of people from voluntary and statutory sector working together on behalf of the residents of Barking and Dagenham.

Health Connections Mendip is based on trust, kindness, creativity and connections.

Nuka system of care was developed by the Southcentral Foundation in Anchorage, Alaska to support the native community. It is essentially a way of thinking.

The following notes summarise the first meeting of Re-Imagining Adult Social Care Network.

The Collective isn’t an organisation.

The Collective is guided by a set of principles that emerged from the Civil Society Futures inquiry led by Julia Unwin.

There are two 're-imagining' networks. One is about early help for families.

We are beginning to test out ways of encouraging people set up networks by themselves.

Are we building a movement or an organisation (or neither)?

Can we view power in a relational way?

Efficiency; relationships; re-balancing; utility.

The values of the BD_Collective are drawn from Civil Society Futures.

We need to be get some sense of the strength of civil society in Barking and Dagenham.

One indicator of success might be that citizens and civil society organisations in Barking and Dagenham see themselves as shaping the Collective.
