NEWS
Contribute to the new Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)
The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment is being updated, and to ensure that the JSNA represents the voice of residents and local communities there is a process for the Voluntary and Community Sector to contribute information. One of the methods identified for obtaining data from the VCS is a Call for Evidence, which is asking organisations to submit any information they have on local needs and services. Please follow the link for the proforma for the Call for Evidence.
Take part in the Camden future libraries consultation
Camden Council has launched a future libraries consultation to review how savings of £800,000 could be made in the delivery of library services across the borough. Although there is less money available, this is a good opportunity to have your say on how future spending should be prioritised in order to create a modern library service that best supports all library users. Get involved by completing the survey online at camden.gov.uk/futurelibraries or pick up a copy from your local library. The consultation closes on Tuesday 6 October 2015.
BSL Access to 111 and 999
There is a pilot is underway for the NHS Health Advice line NHS 111 to be accessible with British Sign language (BSL).Full details are available here www.signhealth.org.uk/nhs111-now-bsl/
At the moment there is no BSL service to access emergency services through 999. Deaf people can use texts from mobiles to 999, but the mobiles must be registered in advance. This can be done through this link www.emergencysms.org.uk/registering_your_mobile_phone.php

National News
Tabloid attacks on fundraising are an attempt to hamper campaigning, says Bubb
“It is perhaps questionable why this issue is being pursued so vehemently in some papers,” he said. “Surely it couldn’t be anything to do with duffing us up so we feel less able to be robust in our campaigning?” Full story in Civil Society magazine.
One Step Forward and Two Steps Back
The Daily Mail has finally admitted that charities were not to blame for Olive Cooke’s death. However, the Minister for Civil Society, Rob Wilson, has been accused of talking “ill-informed drivel” after he accused RSPB and RSPCA of not delivering services as part of his wider war on charity campaigning. On the other hand he is clearly a supporter of full-cost-recovery as he was found to have claimed 9p for a 350 yard car journey and 60p towards maintenance of his bicycle. Story in Civil Society and the Metro.
Civicus 2015 State of Civil Society Report Published
The report warns that “67 years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights guaranteed our freedoms of expression, peaceful assembly and association, 6 out of 7 humans live in countries where these freedoms were under threat. And even the most mature democracies are not exempt.” Read the report here.
The BBC invites you to take part in a science demonstration to be broadcast on BBC One.
Working with scientists from King’s College London, the BBC is looking for people over 65 from the London area to take part in a demonstration of how non-strenuous physical activity can benefit our cognitive health (such as our memory and ability to solve problems) in older age.
We want to see how a 10-week program of manageable, fun and surprising physical activity can improve cognition and brain health.
If you are over 65 and don’t currently take part in regular exercise but would like to find out how small changes could benefit your brain, then we would love to hear from you!

The Office for Civil Society has announced the launch of its £20m Local Sustainability Fund, which will give grants of between £20,000 and £100,000 to around 250 small and medium-sized organisations.
However the fund has taken 15 months to deliver, is half the size it was originally expected to be, and faces criticism over a “ridiculously short” application window.

OTHER EVENTS
‘Celebrating Parents – Resilience in Camden’ fun day for families on Saturday, October 24th from 1 – 5 pm at Haverstock School.
Every year we have our Celebrating Parents (in its 10th year) event during Parents week and we invite the Mayor and the Cabinet member for Children Schools and Families. This year the event will be slightly different as we are looking at ‘Resilience in Camden’.
Everyone’s lives have ups and downs. Resilience is the ability to bounce back when faced with challenges in your life. Resilience also comes from supportive relationships with family members, peers and communities that help people cope.
Camden Council is exploring new ways to better serve its residents. The new Resilient Families Programme aims to support families early enough to prevent problems escalating by focusing on what families need to be resilient, giving support in the right way, at the right time, empowering them to improve their own situation by developing community networks, unlocking alternative community resources and relooking at the role of public services. Schools, health, police and the voluntary and community sector are key partners.
If you would like a stall at the event please complete the booking form attached and return it to David Robinson at david.robinson@camden.gov.uk

Training runs from 1pm – 5pm at the Camden Training and Development Service at the Crowndale Centre.

Training People have several years of experience delivering training in Camden, working with social care workers, NHS staff, third sector staff and volunteers, as well as council employees.

Camden Hub seeks Project Assistant
Be an instrumental part of an innovative project tackling mental ill health in Camden within the Bengali, Black, and Irish communities. We are looking for people who take initiative, can think creatively, and, most importantly, are confident to engage with people. If you are from any of these communities, then your grassroots knowledge, insights and network will be invaluable.
We put people first and will be connecting with them on their terms, wherever they feel most comfortable: clubs or cafes, mosques or churches, college or university, at home or on the go. Having identified people and places, you’ll help to run “mutual learning sessions”. These informal meetups will allow each community to come up with their own original ideas for raising mental health awareness and reducing stigma. Harnessing this energy and insight, you’ll then go on to co produce (together) the most popular and exciting ones.
What you’ll do
● Investigate and identify where people come together, eg, social clubs, cafes, parent groups, and places of worship;
● Make contact and create relationships;
● Meet with individuals and groups. Have informal discussions and “mutual learning workshops” to gain insights and ideas.
● Later in the project, run “codesign & coproduction sessions” where you’ll help to follow through on ideas people have had, eg, produce a film, create a leaflet, run a popup music studio at schools
You can be involved in a big way: meeting with lots of people, helping to surface many ideas and then helping to see them through.
Or, you may prefer to engage with just one or two groups of people: perhaps you are well situated to meet up with your local barber shop, pub, or youth club, where you’re confident you can get people talking and creating ideas.

PAs can carry out a wide range of tasks, as agreed with you, to help with things such as washing, getting dressed, cooking, and supporting you to go out and about.

Socially Responsible Recruiting
A new, award-winning skills matching service that connects employers with skilled and experienced people to do one-off or part-time jobs has launched in Camden, with a strong social benefit ethic.
“There is a very large number of people in Camden who are fantastically skilled and work-ready but are off the radar to employers because they’re not looking for full-time work and aren’t constantly scouring the job ads,” says Jonathan Collie, founder of Trading Times.
These people are highly skilled over 50s, and family carers. Trading Times brings them to you. It’s free to candidates. It costs you only £35, and only when you are connected to the perfect candidates.
Paul Fordham of Abbey Community Centre in Camden said: “”We posted our occasional job opportunity on Trading Times because we at the Abbey Community Centre recognise the value of the flexibility that can come with age. Trading Times offers a tailored means to directly target opportunities at an older group that the vast majority of other job sites simply do not seem to tap.”
Register at https://tradingtimes.org.uk/ and let Trading Times match you with the right local people for your needs.
