Hey Mum - we're going to be on t'telly!

BBC Wales political producer Toby Mason, clearly a man of fine understanding and revolutionary zeal, has heard about the Open Letter, and the joys of co-production and intends to make a programme about it all for the telly.

AND he's planning to schedule it to go out just before the Open Letter wings its way to the Welsh Government's First Minister Carwyn Jones on 25th April. How's that for a bit of news to cheer us up in the midst of cuts, angst and…

A very good morning to you :) Thanks for the Heads Up! Have joined the Welsh group now too.

Out of curiosity ... I can't seem to get my profile picture up :) not important I guess but hey ... :) Its only a small file so cannot really understand why.

I was also trying to look at some of the Docs under Resources - health and none of them seem viewable or downloadable - has anyone had any problems recently?

As you now know, I am new to the group but have been looking at nef for a while and also trying to figure out NESTA and how I can be part of it usefully, but I think at this early stage, it may actually how well I understand the network and identify key orgs/individuals who may be able to support the social enterprise (in the health and well being, volunteering, fundraising fields) and then in turn be able to help back.

I am meeting the Wales Co-op in the coming week or two to thrash out the ideas and the business plans and then I will be able to start approaching people properly, so who knows, there may be some movement from me by June so it would be great to be at the event with United Welsh.

In the mean time, if you are on LinkedIn, you can find me there and see my profile and history too :)

I hope you have a lovely day,

Ranjit
