Working with others
Engagement strategiesNCVO research on community engagement (13 BL areas):
Low intensity engagement: Importance of having multitude
of ‘entry points’ to participate and microvolunteering
Don’t overburden volunteers: People tend to slip in and
out of volunteering, so a steady stream key
Community engagement is not easy and needs continual
attention
Communication with residents is paramount: value of
face-to-face interaction/ events with residents to engage
people
Working with Health
agencies
IVAR action research in 7 BL areas :
Big Local partnerships to articulate clear offer to bring to the
table to encourage health agencies to work with them
Importance of identifying allies and common ground
BL areas as ideal test beds for new ideas and activities,
able to take risks that may not be so free to take
Challenges from cuts, mergers and outsourcing
