1 Unscheduled Care in Western Trust area - Your experience, views and suggestions
Can you spare 15 minutes of your valuable time to answer eight straightforward questions about Unscheduled Care in this part of the Western Health & Social Care Trust area?
If so please click here to begin this anonymous survey.
North West Community Network has been commissioned by the Western Local Commissioning Group (LCG) to conduct Community Engagement around the area of Unscheduled Care.
Unscheduled Care basically refers to when someone accesses health and social care services unexpectedly. This can occur at any time and crosses the traditional boundaries between general practitioner (GP), community and hospital services and means there must be a 24 hour service available.
Across the Western Trust area, over 1000 surveys will be completed by the end of March 2017 and then analysed to determine what changes or priorities need to be considered in the shaping and commissioning of future services.
You can decide to complete the survey yourself, share it with friends and family, colleagues and service users. The value and analysis of responses will be greatly improved if you can include answers on Age, Gender and Post Code so you are kindly asked to record these.
Your can complete this survey electronically here or, if more convenient, print and complete by hand. It is also available on the Network's website - www.nwcn.org

3 Bakers Donate
Bakers Donate is a newly formed collaboration of individually registered and insured bakers around the UK and Ireland, currently 56 members and growing. The idea is bakers make a little extra at Christmas than their regular orders and the goods are donated to organisations to be distributed to those who need them and perhaps wouldn’t normally have the luxury of a cake or some home baked treats that can make Christmas so special.
We appreciate there are needs year-round and lots of organisation do great things to help. Unfortunately, we are not able to help year-round, therefor we have chosen Christmas to try and make a little difference. Each baker will donate in their own area, so at this point we are not sure of amounts or variety we will have in each area. As founding member, I hope this initiative will be successful and build year on year.
If you are part of a community organisation or charity which distributes to others at Christmas and are interested in receiving some baked goods to distribute please contact me via email initially so I can register your interest and answer any questions.
Please contact Geraldine Lindsay on Geraldine@mysugarfairy.com

Launching the awards, Alderman Hilary McClintock encouraged people to acknowledge the work of some of the district’s most influential female figures. “This is the perfect opportunity to shine a spotlight on the invaluable work that is being carried out every day in our communities, which often goes unthanked and unacknowledged,” she declared.
“Women are the backbone of our society - within the home and in our communities and workplaces - and the Women of the Year Awards set out to highlight the ongoing achievements of some remarkable local women.
“I would really encourage everyone to take the chance to highlight some of the people who work tirelessly to improve the areas where they live, support others and who make our city and district so great.”
Anyone whose work has made a significant impact over the past 12 months can be nominated, and this year there are 13 different categories covering a range of fields, as well as an overall Woman of the Year 2017 award.
Nominations are currently being sought under the following categories:
-
Contribution to Community Development
-
Contribution to Community Relations
-
Contribution to Health
-
Contribution to Enterprise; Contribution to Community Safety
-
Contribution to Arts; Contribution to Formal/Informal Education
-
Contribution to the Older People
-
Contribution to Youth
-
Contribution to Childcare
-
Contribution to Caring
-
Young Women’s Award (must be aged 18 to 25 years old)
-

An individual may only enter one category as regards to categories 1 to 13 inclusive but may also be involved in a nomination for Overall Woman of the Year 2017 Winner.
The Women of the Year awards are sponsored by Local Women Magazine and will take place on March 3rd in the City Hotel.
The closing date for entries is 12noon on Friday 27 January 2016.

14 The Inside Out Programme is pleased to announce the Arrival of 'LID+'
What is LID+?
‘LID+’ is a year-long a programme of activity (funded by the European Commission Representative in London) that informs, supports, mentors and pro-actively engages young people (including those under the age of 18), young leaders, youth workers and other practitioners (with a remit for young people) in the Erasmus+ Programme in 2017.
It is one of 7 projects across the UK to be funded and is based on the work that Inside Out has been doing over the last number of years promoting access to and participation in the Youth in Action and Erasmus + programmes (at least 180 individuals have participated in more than 80 programmes across 20 countries or more since April 2008) but also in light of some of the changes affecting the Youth Service in Northern Ireland.
Outcomes of LID+
In our programme there will be four main outcomes, increases in: (i) awareness of the Erasmus+ Programme (ii) numbers expressing an interest in participating in the Erasmus+ programme (iii) the number of ‘submission-ready’ applications (post-programme) and (iv) application's submitted. We will measure the increases against the number of users not previously engaged in the programme.
The project will work specifically to target (i) Volunteering Abroad (ii) Youth Exchanges and (iii) Key Action1 Mobility Projects. It will do this by providing a tailor-made service to local organisations (primarily) across Northern Ireland (due to smaller population/smaller geographical reach/area) but also ensuring a presence in the rest of the UK that complements but does not duplicate the work of the UK National Agency.
Activities will include
-
Formal launch of the programme to ‘announce its arrival’ to youth work communities across Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK;
-
Information Sessions to inform local publics about the Erasmus+ Programme (all 11 local Council areas in Northern Ireland as well as areas in England, Scotland and Wales)
-
‘Listening Service’ with individual organisations seeking advice and information in order to support the development of potential project proposals;
-
Feedback service on ‘Initial Proposals’;
-
Mentoring Service – tailored support to ensure the full development of applications;
-
‘One-to-One’s’ to critique draft applications that are (almost) ‘submission ready’;
-
Development Workshops specifically with young people aged 13+ to support their introduction to and involvement with Erasmus+ with the specific task of nurturing and harnessing and/or responding to identified needs that might lead to the development of themes for potential youth exchange applications.
-
A range of International Learning Opportunities for ‘interested parties’ through the on-going work of The LID (Leadership through Intercultural Dialogue) Programme and its international partners
-
Regular Localised Information Bulletin on Erasmus+ developments and opportunities (minimum bi-monthly);
-
Contact Making Seminar between experienced and non-experienced Erasmus+ users but with an interest in developing mutually beneficial applications. It will bring together experienced Erasmus+ users with ‘new’ users to share and exchange information about their experiences with a view to not only developing projects but to also work on preparing applications during the seminar.
-
On-going: ‘Live Network’ established between Inside Out and its already existing partners (see below) so as to support the development of local proposals from potential applications to ‘submission-ready applications’;
-
‘Market Place’ 30th Anniversary Celebration Event (NI only) affording all groups from Northern Ireland involved in YiA/E+ to ‘market’, celebrate and contribute to a one-off celebration event
Anyone interested in LID+ should contact Fergal Barr at: thekingisalive@hotmail.com

The Consumer Council is running a drop-in event in Draperstown Library on Tuesday 24 January for local consumers who have been affected by recent bank branch closures in the area.Staff from the Consumer Council will provide information about managing their bank account, switching, making payments, banking safely as well as answering any queries.
Speaking about the event, Maeve Holly, Senior Policy Officer at the Consumer Council said: “The way we bank has been changing in recent years and many consumers are now choosing to use different ways to bank, such as online or telephone banking. However, some people still value face-to-face contact. Since 2010, we have seen almost a third of bank branches close in Northern Ireland. We are running this information session to help local consumers get the best from their bank account.”
Date: Tuesday 24 January 2017
Time: 3pm – 7pm
Venue: Draperstown Library, 50 High Street, Draperstown
