This one needss some inspector gadget work - National institue of health report assessing community engagment approaches - including collaborative methodologies and community champions

"The resources listed in this catalogue provide a wealth of information on how to effectively engage local people, increase active citizenship and social responsibility, all of which lead to a greater sense of identity, wellbeing and belonging in the community. This online guide allows you to peruse our resources and explore our learning and expertise. In sharing our work, we hope to champion good practice in empowerment across London, supporting local services, voluntary and community groups and local people to work together to achieve better outcomes for all. Resources are grouped into four types of report: * RESEARCH REPORTS * EVENTS REPORTS * CASE STUDIES * GUIDANCE TOOLS"

Best Practice: basically copy what other providers are doing to empower their sympathizers, champions and angels in rasing funds. Could we do the same for AFL partners and for CfL?

Community organisations are increasingly agents of the state, and no longer radical champions of social justice. Ruth Townsley, Voice and Impact manager, questions whether community organisations are losing their critical voice. The independent voice of the sector, the voice that challenges the 'one size fits all' policies of government, and which calls to account statutory services, the voice which connects with marginalised groups of many types to ensure they are not bypassed by the generic central government solutions, is being eroded.

If you are drawing down public funding, there has to be some agreement between funder and community organisation - otherwise why would we be given the money? I think we have to be subversive and creative, and tweak funding to fulfil our learners' needs.

This is such a good fit for "pathways to employment hot buttons" - project/idea. Check out sticky notes with other page link. Can bring together mental health, area of deprivation,volunteering, etc. ;-) Could they fund Family Learning festival costs?

Thanks, Will. Some really useful language and phrases to nick! I like social inclusion through ICT... waiting to hear back from CVS if Reaching Communities is the fund for our project.
