The LINk was represented at the Communities Day event held in Cosham High Street on Friday 22/07/2011. The day was very full with over 150 people attending the Stand. 37 people left their email addresses in order to receive additional information about the Portsmouth LINk (via the Blog). People who stopped at the Stand, and expressed an interested in Health and Social Care, were very interested when they learned that LINk representatives were actually meeting with senior staff at Queen Alexandra Hospital almost at the very point in time when they were discovering the LINk and what it does. If you were one of the people who visited the Stand on that day, and if you still want to get involved, please make contact (via email or telephone) to find out just how simple it is to become involved. The other 100 or so people making general points identifying neighbourhood priorities did so by being given 3 voting cards which were then used to identify the priorities for improvement within their local area – the options and results of the 116 people who voted appear on the Neighbourhood Forum Blog.
This is a good example of 'killing two birds with one stone'!! - Raising awareness of the Link and finding out about peoples' more general concerns in the locality. And it is a good example of the Link being able to work with Neighbourhood Forums.
