 Meeting with Andrew Harrison 27th June 2012 at the Involve Centre (Mike)

·         Discussed with Andrew about setting up a physical noticeboard for the SSC. The noticeboard could be placed inside the foyer area where there is space. There is an upcoming building meeting, so Andrew will take the issue to them before final confirmation is given.

·         The building has received some funding so will be re-vamped in near future which could give the SSC further opportunities.

Things to consider/discuss

·         One issue Andrew stressed was that this funding has been allocated on the basis that most of the groups who use the centre have some involvement or links with/to mental health projects, so the SSC might need to think about how best we can fit in with this.

·         The centre is shortly going to publish a prospectus of the course on offer. Does the SSC want to have a page in here? If not advertising the courses/modules/classes at least a notice about who we are, what we will offer and where to contact us?

·         Putting a hard copy of the constitution, membership forms, contact details, etc. on notice board.

·         Lots of rooms in the centre for rent, office space, room to build our own library, workspaces, storage space. £40 per week (negotiable rates). 

·         Do we want to make a 'bid' for usage?
