CEO of Macc, Mike: Ice breaker. Devolution or MoU pic.twitter.com/6vacou2Ph3
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Devolution Manchester
Mike: Devolution. We’re making it up as we go along. A huge economy bigger than Wales. There is a scale for this. This isn’t new. @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Mike: Dev initiatives have evolved into what we have. E.g. Our metrolink has grown to near complexity of Ldn underground
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Mike: Each component of devoManc is separate. There are new deals around e.g. Welfare. Devolution evolving. @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Mike: The mayor is the 11th authority with the other boroughs. Collaboration with existing structure not domination @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
How the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) came about
Mike: We asked for MoU, secondments from vol sector, communications from interim mayor. Basis of present deal @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Mike: Devolution needs to engage the community. MoU between GMHSCP missed out the faith sector. That has now been rectified. @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Correction: faith sector
Resourcing the MoU
Mike: How are we going to get comms involved in devo. Start with health and social care and writing a MoU about resources (money) @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Working with Faith Organisations
Mike: What do we call ourselves. Vol community and social enterprise org. VCSE. Looking to add faith orgs, now with this event and @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
The vision for the MoU
Mike: Explaining about the MoU and the reference group. It’s all about ambition is the best bit of devolution. Looking at vision. @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Mike: Why haven’t we eradicated poverty in GM. The systems have blocked us. Growth of the economy, trickle down? It has its limits @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
The Hidden Social and Economic Capital of Communities
Mike: Communities can do more than trickle down economy. Tonight. Have your ambitions ready and write them down tonight @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Mike: We have knowledge that big corps don’t have. Our assets, how can we maximise them? @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Mike: Mayor’s priority. Be ready for school, employability, ageing how do we better utilise this assets, homelessness @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Mike: We need to come up with solutions in our ambitons.

— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Question
Question about commissioning. How can we break into the commissioning sector? How can ensure GM funds our vol groups? @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Warren Heppolette
Warren: We need to acknowledge that there are different ways of knowing that positively affect commissioning procedures (@cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Warren: NHS needs to veer away from crisis management i.e. Payment by results. Grants? @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Audience member

— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Audience member
Is there a cross over between health, education and employment at GM? How can the community get involved at GM?
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Hartley Hanley ‘we should not get the leftovers’ ‘people of the Windrush era built the NHS’ @GM_HSC @revkollektiv @charleskod #CAHNGM
— CAHN GM (@cahn_gm) August 22, 2017
The cake should be better shared. Our comms should not just be getting the crumbs. It’s our money as well – Hartley @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Hartley: Why can’t the sector be more explicit about the black contribution to the NHS. Brexit as the context and “wanting our country back”
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
Warren Heppolette
Warren: There is collaboration bw health, education and work e.g. Poor mental health as a barrier2 employment. @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017

Warren: Our BAME communities can provide the voice with passion and rep our contribution to GM. @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017

Table discussions, facilitated by Dr Eula Miller, MMU Senior Lecturer, Researcher and CAHN member
Some very clear messages coming out of our table discussions…
Just going into table discussions about how the community can invest in health? @cahn_gmpic.twitter.com/lUcPBPFQuz
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
- How do you think the community could best engage with GM partnerships to improve health?
Answer to question 1. Use social media more effectively
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
2. What do you (as an individual or organisation) see as the challenges or obstacles faced in relation to enabling health and wellbeing activities within your community?
Barriers to development? Short term funding and lack of collaborative working. Collaborative working on both sides @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
3. How can GM help to enable health and wellbeing activities for your community?
Anthony Downer: agenda 2010. Should have been collaborative but this didn’t work. Too impersonal to work. @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
We should be mainstream funded2avoid being divided& rule. We need to better use our professionals in the comm. Self care and networks @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
shouldn’t decouple mental physical health. They impact on each other. We also need2look at the lang used when talking about health @cahn_gm
— Revelation Kollektiv (@revkollektiv) August 22, 2017
