Meeting Our Partners
On Wednesday 8 April 2015, C4CC held a meeting to welcome the wave of new partners and induct them into the Coalition, providing an overview to the current programme of activity, the upcoming Co-production strategy and the overall vision for C4CC.
In the afternoon, the founding partners joined the group to explore the central themes of the Coalition and supported the group to create their own agenda and discussions. This resulted in a number of strong group discussions that will help shape the future work of the Coalition and build strong connections between all partners.
You can view the full review of the day here.

Co-production Group Meeting
On Thursday 9 April 2015, we were back at the Coin Street Centre, this time for the second meeting with our Co-production group. We had another strong turnout from the group with everyone eager to share all the great things that they have been involved in since the last session. We also used this meeting to collate the wide-ranging skills held by our group, plus gave opportunities for future training sessions to extend their skills further.

In the afternoon the group contributed to the design of our upcoming regional events, they heard about the long-term conditions programme and the Integrated Personal Commissioning sites and gave their thoughts on how the group could be involved. The group also defined ground rules and a code of conduct for the group.
The next meeting is due to be held in July.

"People don’t segment their issues or needs into categories like ‘housing’, ‘employment’ or ‘health’ – these are all related. Community groups are well positioned to support the whole person and co-ordinate care across different providers."
One of our new partners is the Community Development Foundation. They are a leading national organisation in community development and engagement.
In October last year they launched Tailor-made - a series of seven papers which detailed research on how community groups improve people's lives and with a focus on ensuring the many small community groups, who make such a difference in their communities, have their funding preserved.
You can find their website here and for the full series of papers, click here.
