2. Local perspectives On the local system… On Self-care…
“the aspiration is for better more meaningful relationships locally – and think about what this really means… as well as meaningful relationships with local people.”
“the system works in a fragmented way because it’s commissioned in a fragmented way.”
“Everyday an older person spends in hospital they loose 5% of muscle!”
“You can’t bottle and measure these impacts!”
On Self-care…

4. Local context Where are we heading?
Where are we now?
Dependency culture, lack of commitment/ambition
Lack of funding, austerity
Willingness, good ideas and attitude but not able to progress
Better involvement of voluntary services
Where are we heading?
Developing neighbourhood/place approaches
Engaged communities
Do prevention as well as cure
Grant eligibility rules to prevent larger organisation getting all the money
Fully integrated services
Investment in VCSE sector e.g. training and empowerment
What’s working?
Good leaders, engaging events
Good population plan, a focus on individuals
Both informal and formal partnerships e.g. ‘Stronger Together’ work
Integrated neighbourhood teams
Social Investment Fund
What’s not working?
Services competing for targets does not encourage collaboration
Perception of self-care = ‘get on with it’
National legislation needs to support development/local issues
Funding not available to support ideas
Lack of funding, austerity, no feedback on unsuccessful applications from CCGs
Master-servant commissioning structure
Star procurement is a condescending approach to co-creation

5. Idea under development
Services shadow services, buddying to understand and experience what organisations do - seeing/demonstrating the value
What do we need to make it happen?
Build it into inductions, appraisals as development goals
Make them valuable experiences
Don’t make confidentiality a barrier, all trained have processes
Copy CCG/Council /NHS idea of ‘RCT’ – Randomised Coffee Trials (everybody interested put forward their name and was paired up)
Do annually?
Skills and capacity
Everybody interested puts forwarded their name and us paired up – do this annually
Invest time all round
Very next steps
Everyone in the room to commit to speaking to two other people outside of the meeting
Speak to managers, feed the idea back to our organisations

6. Idea under development
Borough-wide coordination of volunteers and opportunities website: ‘Our people’ website
What do we need to make it happen?
Shared directory i.e. website, hub, one point of contact/access i.e. CVS
Joint volunteer recruitment/single pint of access
Shared expenditure pot/funds
Skills and capacity
Multiple agencies have existing resource
Existing volunteer training
Very next steps
Shared agreement
CVS to consult organisations and carry out research around expectations and need
Signpost volunteers to other organisations

7. Idea under development
Time banking and reward scheme with a stamp or credit for each hour spent volunteering or a qualification.
‘It allows Betty’s tea room to contribute to social initiatives without having to give time’.
What do we need to make it happen?
Volunteers/people
CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) store
Give support to strengthen CVS Rochdale
To shout about it
Skills and capacity
All of the skills are there, just need to bring together
Very next steps
It’s happening – need to scale
Test and learn – roll out
Expand and refine
Link to Work & Pensions (and restrictions)

Skills and capacity
CVS
The community through word of mouth
