Connecting to Wider Strategy The Strategic Place Board (SPB) is the merging of the Rochdale Health and Wellbeing Board and Rochdale Borough Public Service Reform (PSR) Steering Group and states we will: Bring together public services, citizens and businesses, utilising the strengths of communities alongside service providers in the shared leadership and strategic development of integrated, collaborative and needs driven public services. The One Rochdale Health & Care -Our Neighbourhood Partnership Approach, says we will: • Ensure that neighbourhood health and wellbeing initiatives are co-produced and involve local residents. • Build and further develop community based assets. • Ensure communities who do not identify with a place feel truly represented. • Engage with local residents to identify grass roots ideas and priorities for the development of ORHC. • The Peoples Partnership, will be developed through Ideas Shops and feed into the above and wider strategy: • An inclusive and neighbourhood focused approach to coproduction, bringing together ORHC and Neighbourhood staff grassroots organisations and local people to share perspectives, tackle challenges and create solutions together in creative and inspiring ways • Support physical community assets by using, resourcing and involving community venues • Connect public service activity with local knowledge, people and activity.
Potential idea topics could be: • A new project or service re-design • A problem that needs community and system perspective • A community story that needs to be shared to inspire others • An opportunity to shape a strategy or plan • A way to allow the public sector to experience the reality of a community • An engagement activity that allows local people to influence what happens where they live • Ways in which visitors might engage with these ideas could be: • A creative activity • A conversation-based activity • An experiment-based activity • A reflection activity Who will do the work? 6 Collaborator groups will lead this work, with Action Together. Members of these groups will need to commit to approx. 5 days over a 12 month period, beginning in September. Members will develop ‘idea topics’ to take to the shop and hold and Ideas Shop event, inviting wider community and workforce to visit. At these events visitors will engage with idea topics and as a Collaborator group you will have the opportunity to supercharge ideas with seed funding and resources. This work is funded and supported by the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership (GMHSCP) Person and Community Centred Approaches team.
