Delighted that this event is happening.

How do you see them engaging, bidding only or also receiving and channelling social value benefit from procurement? 11:34:00 From Conrad Parke : If you are having trouble accessing the Q&A please use the CHAT instead for your questions. 11:36:18 From Neil McInroy : one of the important lessons from brum for NI, is the impetus for actual change. This is not a partnership as talking shop. Birmingham anchor process has intent, focus, it does and is focussed on real outcomes. 11:37:45 From David Quinney Mee to All panelists : Can you say a bit more about direct strategies for engagement with community? 11:39:18 From John Barry : 100% Neil... talk is not only cheap but danger of over-promising and under delivering ,...and cynicism sinking in... like all good ideas unless action/practically orientated, a CWB 'strategy' or 'discussion paper' will be like the Irish football team (other teams are available), 'great on paper, crap on grass'.... 11:42:01 From Mary McManus : It goes without saying that health trusts should be taking a systemic approach to tackling health inequalities. 11:42:05 From barry kearney to All panelists : Did you find any resistance to CWB in Birmingham from anchors or political groups? Was it driven by a local organisation or a council members for example? 11:42:19 From Mary McManus : Great to hear of the work in Birmingham 11:42:56 From Neil McInroy : He he John! Yes. For too long in NI we have had a plethora of good ideas and good sounding agendas. Arguably delivery and follow through has been very poor? 11:43:26 From Charlie Fisher DTNI to All panelists : What has been the challenge on engaging with local community representative organisations and are they a critical pathway in creating new employment opportunities for those furthest from the labour market? 11:44:12 From Charlie Fisher DTNI to All panelists : What work has been undertaken to engage social enterprises, community/social businesses to the opportunities to deliver goods and services? 11:47:39 From Lisa Maclean : Thanks Conrad, that's really interesting and thank you to Angela and Karen for their answers too. 11:49:11 From suleiman Abdulahi to All panelists : A question to Angela, I am interested in learning more about Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship? 11:51:30 From Angela Jeffery : Hi Suleiman https://www2.aston.ac.uk/aston-business-school/research/research-centres/CREME happy to link you up with our centre e-mail me a.jeffery@aston.ac.uk 11:56:22 From Mary McManus : Would be great to see anchors here becoming accredited living wage employers as NI has the highest percentage of employees not receiving the real living wage in the UK. 11:59:53 From Helen Crickard to All panelists : Thanks Conrad, very useful and so positive 11:59:56 From DTNI to Margaret Craig(Privately) : stick yer camera on 12:00:25 From John Barry : Thanks everyone from Brum … great to hear ..inspiring ,,, 12:00:54 From David Quinney Mee to All panelists : Three cheers for Brum - thanks all 12:01:00 From DTNI to Margaret Craig(Privately) : you want to put the holding slide on? 12:07:23 From Mary McManus : Community orgs also need to start seeing themselves as economic actors. 12:08:15 From Helen Crickard to All panelists : Totally agree Mary - communities are constantly being drip fed and a big piece of work within the community to realise our power and potential 12:13:39 From Noeleen Diver to All panelists : Yes Mary and in the broad definition of economic activity. Full value, full cost. 12:13:46 From Mary McManus : Is this partnership different to the Inclusive Growth Network? 12:14:07 From Maire Gaffney to All panelists : New PFG out to consultation, talking about global competitiveness and growth, not a new economics with communities taking control over the commercial economy. How can we influence the economic debate substantially and drive investment to enable communities to engage in community social enterprise that can take advantage of the pathways institutions open up and create others? 12:15:43 From John Barry : 100% Marie … If we are to 'build back better' from the pandemic a bog standard globalised and growth focused recovery strategy will not cut it … we need a jobs not growth focused and localised economic responses will deliver this more than the FDI competitiveness model by itself ,.,... 12:21:31 From lauri mccusker to All panelists : Lets hope the University can become Living Wage Employer … its so important 12:23:42 From Mary McManus : The Impact of Belfast Anchor Institution report 2013 by CLES for Belfast City Council demonstrated the willingness of the large anchor institutions in Belfast to work on a CWB agenda. As Neil said, this means forensic focus. As John said we have an opportunity to build back better. We need action. 12:24:54 From John Barry : 2015 report from the NI Assemblies on Living Wage Employers in NI - http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/globalassets/documents/raise/publications/2015/del/7715.pdf 12:27:08 From lauri mccusker to All panelists : Locally 2years ago Fermanagh and Omagh District Council as part of their commitment to tackling poverty in the District 12:27:53 From Maire Gaffney to All panelists : Completely agree Raymond.
