3. FT Membership Strategy Progress Update January 2018
 Introduction 
The Board received a progress update regarding the Membership Strategy at its meeting on 27 July It was agreed that a further progress update would be provided through the Chief Executive’s report in January 2018 and that the refreshed Strategy would be provided via a separate paper to Board around June/July 2018.
Progress Made in Delivering the Strategy
Objective 1 `to recruit to the Trust those people that have an interest in healthcare, whilst ensuring the membership remains representative of the community’
Since July 2017, Governors have supported the Deputy Trust Secretary to recruit new members at a Bradford College event, a district-wide Young People’s event and a Dementia event. Governors continue to promote membership to the people they meet through their networks and the Trust’s website contains a Membership page. The Involvement and Volunteering teams also continue to encourage service users expressing an interest in taking part in involvement activities and Trust volunteers to become members of the Trust. As at 11 January, there were 9,899 Public members. This is within the membership target of 9,000-10,000 Pubic members. During the period January 2017 to December 2017, 281 new members joined the Trust and 120 existing members left the Trust. The reasons for members leaving the Trust relate to members not providing details of their new address, members becoming deceased or members choosing to opt out of membership.
The Foundation Trust Code of Governance provides that the Board of Directors should monitor how representative the membership is. Membership representativeness is also monitored by the Membership Working Group and, at its meeting in June 2017, it was considered that work should be undertaken to target and inform Eastern European communities about membership opportunities. Suggestions made at that meeting about ways in which to do this will be captured within the refreshed Strategy.
The graphs on the at the end of this report provide details about the representativeness of the membership as at 11 January Whilst the number of members has increased since July 2017 (from 9659 to 9899), there has been no movement in the percentage of people within each category area. Consequently, approximately 28% of the membership continues to be within the age bracket; the split between female (60%) and male (39%) members is the same; 57% of the membership is still from White backgrounds and 40% from BAME backgrounds, with the majority of BAME members continuing to identify as Asian/Asian British; and the three Bradford constituencies (where population levels are the greatest) continue to attract the highest percentage of members, although the number of members within Craven and Keighley is only marginally lower than Bradford South.

4. Objective 2 `to engage those members wanting to get involved in the work of the Trust through engagement activities and events’
Since July 2017, Governors have attended four public-facing membership events in order to engage with the membership and public. These include the Dementia, Young-Peoples and Bradford College events; and the Annual Members Meeting (and the Governor drop-in session which preceded this) and the opportunity to meet Governors at these events is communicated through event flyers and press releases. Staff Governors have joined Directors at staff briefings and EMT-on-the-road meetings in order to understand issues raised by staff. A further membership talk is planned for 15 January which will present the work of the MyWellbeing College service (through a Stressbuster introductory session. [A further update can be provided at the Board meeting.]
Additionally, we have invited undergraduates from Bradford University to undertake a piece of research to help us understand how the Trust could encourage more of its members to engage in the work of the Trust. We are working closely with a Lecturer from the Faculty of Management and Law on the development of a research proposition for consideration by the students.
Objective 3 `to obtain views from the Trust’s members and the public about the services provided by the Trust’
Feedback regarding the Trust’s services is provided by Governors at Council of Governor meetings or directly to Directors/other members of staff. Additionally, a paper regarding the feedback received from: the Trust Board/Council of Governors Awayday held on 19 July 2017; the Governor drop in meeting prior to the Annual Members Meeting; the roundtable discussions at the Annual Members Meeting on 26 September and the evaluation findings from the Annual Members Meeting has been considered by the Executive Management Team, the Council of Governors and the Membership Working Group. The action taken in response to the feedback received will be shared via the website and a Governor stall at the 2018 Annual Members Meeting.

8. External Media Report – Nov/Dec 2017
We achieved four pieces of national media coverage over November and December, these were in LD Today, Health Business, Nursing Times and Primary Health Care. The winter campaign which has been running throughout both months, but predominantly November, resulted in local media coverage and high engagement levels on social media. November’s engagement rate is high following work done for the allied health professions event and the opening of the new Carers Hub. The bounce rate in December is slightly up due to the high numbers of people visiting our ‘stay well this winter page’ from links on social media and leaving the page after finding all the information they needed on the page.
