Thank you for your message, Ruth! Just joined the Wales group. It looks like the Fulbright academic affiliations are coming together (from Cardiff and Aberystwyth). I'll keep you posted as it all unfolds. Thanks again for your help!

Hi Ruth

Thank you for the welcome...I too hope that our paths will meet!

regards, Kaz

Thanks Ruth will do.  Found the last network meeting very interesting and inspiring.

Thanks Ruth, I've just joined! Looking forward to meeting you at the networking event in June if you are attending.

Hi Ruth, have done - looking forward to getting stuck in!!

Hi Ruth,

A very good morning to you :) Thanks for the Heads Up! Have joined the Welsh group now too.

Out of curiosity ... I can't seem to get my profile picture up :) not important I guess but hey ... :) Its only a small file so cannot really understand why.

I was also trying to look at some of the Docs under Resources - health and none of them seem viewable or downloadable - has anyone had any problems recently?

As you now know, I am new to the group but have been looking at nef for a while and also trying to figure out NESTA and how I can be part of it usefully, but I think at this early stage, it may actually how well I understand the network and identify key orgs/individuals who may be able to support the social enterprise (in the health and well being, volunteering, fundraising fields) and then in turn be able to help back.

I am meeting the Wales Co-op in the coming week or two to thrash out the ideas and the business plans and then I will be able to start approaching people properly, so who knows, there may be some movement from me by June so it would be great to be at the event with United Welsh.

In the mean time, if you are on LinkedIn, you can find me there and see my profile and history too :)

I hope you have a lovely day,

Ranjit

Thanks Ruth, I will join the Welsh Group. I also work for Cardiff and Vale UHB where I am involved in the MAGIC shared decsion making programme, involving patients in designing the programme, and in increasing support for carers - working closely with C3SC and VCVS. With reagrd to that, and my 1000 lives role I would welcome the opportunity for a chat with you at some point about our future work

Thank you Ruth.  I'll do my best to be there.

Hi Ruth

Thanks for the welcome! Can you let me know the details of the event in May please?

Thanks

Wendy

Thank you Ruth - will do

Thanks Ruth, will definitely be there.  We are finalising everything ready to post out.  Look forward to seeing you then. :-)

Thought that I had.  Just corrected by error - number 81 has now joined.  See you at the next network.

Thanks Ruth, I've added myself to Wales! Hope you're well, see you soon R

The project has only just wrapped up, so no journals to link to so far. If you'd like to send me your contact details (is there a pm facility here, I haven't had time to explore everything yet) then I can send you a paper I'm presenting in Lisbon in November.

Hi Ruth,

Quite similar to Lee actually. My background is social marketing, and I'm interested in how stakeholders can collaborate with deprived communities to make things better, rather than doing research and then delivering "interventions" aimed at getting people to change. I'm mid way through writing up my own thesis based on a project that started out as being about alcohol harm reduction in two deprived communities, but ended up being mostly about powerlessness and isolation.

Cheers,

Katie

Hi Ruth,

I didn't know Lee (he's at Bristol not UWE) but he does look like a good person to know. I see that his PhD research is looking at Time Banking; I've had some contact with Fair Shares in Gloucester recently. Looks like a great model.

Cheers,

Katie

Hello Ruth,

Thank you! I can't immediately think what Lee you mean; are they at UWE?

I've joined the Wales group, looking forward to finding out more about the work there.

Cheers,

Katie.

Hi Ruth,

Thank you! Will do it now. Finding my way incrementally :)

Kindest wishes

Nick

Hi Ruth
I would love to attend the meeting tomorrow. Do I need to to regiser an attendance?
