the journey of the person in need through the system is really fragmented, most vulnearable are left to keep looking, there are gaps and duplication

my role, my bit - third sector hub is useful for making referrals, they can pick up a conversations, everywhere needs a hub a one stop shop

# data[].attributes.body
a lot depends on the initiative of individuals in the system ( connectivity)

# data[].attributes.body
a lot depends on the relationships , need for better communication between the council and local organisations, important to know who can make referrals

getting good things to last -

# data[].attributes.body
everyone is on a knife edge

# data[].attributes.body
lots of organisations but we don't know what they are, its difficult to bring them together, there's a lots of thing going on, funding is always a barrier

if you are new there is a lot of initiatives it is very confusing to know where to go and whom to choose, multiple hubs could be sharing assets and information , linking is important

# data[].attributes.body
the language around it is confusing ' HUB' is a term that is often used so you don't know what it really does and offer

funding - competitive, hesitancy to engage, larger organisations have an advantage

# data[].attributes.body
making sure small and big organisation and small organisations recognize each other, how they rely on each other, the partnership meetings costs and time needs to be recognised, funders need to think about that, partnership funding needs to also support the partnership and collaboration ( full cost recovery)

during covid there was great collaboration, lots of collaborative bids, - shows it is possible but fudning was supporting this, people can focus on their speciality and support each other rather than perceive each other as competition

# data[].attributes.body
capacity to collaborate is limited, collaborative forum in carlisle is an example of attempt and collaboration

# data[].attributes.body
the collaboration needs to be action oriented and focused on shared purpose, what do we bring to the table to achieve this, rather than being a talk shop

# data[].attributes.body
collaborative bidding for projects based on the identified need, with a transparent process of bringing together the partnership

# data[].attributes.body
starting from the shared purpose and need and organising around that rather

# data[].attributes.body
seeing what connects us

# data[].attributes.body
working in silos is due to lack of capacity you look only at your work

advocate for public sector to have more money from the government, its a 'food chain'

# data[].attributes.body
different organisations have different procedures and processes and strategies

# data[].attributes.body
creating spaces where people can communicate across the sectors and areas of expertise

# data[].attributes.body
immediate actions ( CCVS good at raising issues and creating the space for such meetings and communications)

# data[].attributes.body
what are the ways to communicate better ( what is it that works for people) lived experience voice is the foundation - using same language, making sure people understand, choosing appropriate channels of communication

# data[].attributes.body
there is good practice in Cumbria around referalls and collaboration

# data[].attributes.body
for individuals internet is not the only solution, posters in local supermarkets, third sector hubs,

# data[].attributes.body
local organisations need to know about those third sector hub, blanket approach all methods community connectors ways of communication need to be as diverse as the local population to fit different demographics

# data[].attributes.body
community members don't seem to know what is happening and what is availble in their communities, you don't know what you don't know
