Ross Mental Health Steering Group wants early joint publicity.

It can be appraised of our current situation, in that we need to do some general house-keeping first – training, DBS clearance etc, arranging the programme – and that we will be ready to roll this out on the 1st March.

Ross DMC Carers page here, is a disguised set of factors anyone considering the on-stage volunteer role would be advised to read. The team work text here applies and it and subsequent pages are all a draft stage. Your input, the final version, and the press release will be decided once sufficient volunteers are assembled.
The reader is reminded that dementia sufferers can be unpredictable. If you are running an activity, have you had or are you willing to acquire the appropriate emergency training? Are you confident that you can handle a reasonable range of emergencies. Will you contribute your knowledge, experience and feelings to the group?
Go to - 2 Nov 2016 - Transient ischaemic attack (TIA) here, and test your feelings. Could you take on the job of dealing with all risk assessments within the scenario?
The Ross DMC Home page carried links to Ross Home page^ here Ross DMC volunteers^ here Set-up meeting^ here. The Ross DMC Home page is liable to be read by the Ross Mental Health Steering Group as part of its intention to make Ross a Dementia Friendly Community, and the links have been removed.
When the volunteers meet, a priority is to attend to the first press release. The Gazette editor will have access to the website soon after. 4 Nov - No evidence for thinking this. End of 4 Nov update
The pace is increasing The Volunteer list is not. It influences what we ask of Ross community within the press release. No momentum.

To discuss.
A better word for stakeholders is partners. They participate in the process and are involved in project evaluation and validation.

At times, fast-moving aspects of the project will occur and every effort will be made to consult. The start date of 11 Jan seems logical and I needed to act as you see via Note to GP - 21 Oct 2016 here. It is a hidden page. All of our pages are hidden except the one here with no return link.

This is in case you missed Deborah's suggestion that we meet on Friday 28th at 10 am, to have a look at what needs to be done to set this group up.
Meanwhile, after scouting around the Home pages to see what is the most interesting - Ross here, public pages here, anyone could announce by email that they will give their reaction at the meeting to the X and Y pages. 12 Nov - nil response.
That done, if anyone wants a topic not dealt with, just make Contact. See 18 Oct re

The aim is to provide the more-important text to give an overview and aid understanding of the DIY DMC project. FAQs, and Skelly advises
here.
15 Oct
This page serves as a noticeboard with updates which include links to new pages.
The first recommended page is FAQs. You note that the contact info is blank. When we are ready to issue publicity, the page will be edited and re-posted within a public set of Ross pages separated from the general DIY DMC pages.
The FAQs page is a public page as is the Volunteers page.
