Julie gave a presentation of the Area Profile.

Suggestions to be included in the presentation.

• Unemployment for 16-19 year olds

NEET data is not yet available on PIP and school exclusions are only available for Tameside, not yet broken down into wards.

Item 6: Common Processes

2 CAFS completed for the area
2 Actions taken
No lead professionals identified
Very much the same as the other areas – still a problem with CAFs not being logged on JASPER

Item 7: Grow to Eat Project

Grant of £30,000 been awarded for community garden at Mossley Youth base called “grow & eat”

• Youth base, Children’s Centre and local community members to benefit
• Schools will have a piece of the land
• Bring together the community
• Part of the money to be used for training volunteers.
• Fits in well with the intergenerational work and cook and eat sessions provided by the Children’s Centre.
• 25th July is the launch date
• Lorenzo from Mossley restaurant will give a cookery demonstration using vegetables as main ingredients
• Andrew Nutter (celebrity chef) is going to do an interactive demo where a group will be taken to his restaurant in Rochdale.
• Groundwork has been invited to tender for some of the training.

Item 8: ACMT Membership – the future

• At present there is no secondary school rep – felt that it is important to have a rep to put the views of that sector. Julie has tried unsuccessfully to recruit a member.
• A meeting is to be held next week to discuss the future of ACMT.

Action- Julie to notify members of the group who will be covering Stalybridge, Dukinfield & Mossley as from 1st August.
