A very brief outline of some work the ALISS did with the SONAS team in Annan (Dumfries) in late 2012-spring 2103

2. Uncovering assets in Annan:
when we (ALISS) arrived they were in the middle of…
• Major (5 yr) area-wide
change programme
‘Putting you First’
• Local Community
Engagement Team
• Desire to be innovative,
and to co-produce
• Thinking about…
– a local information hub
– And more

6. Reflections
• Good to feel validated!
– “this looks like co-production”
• For staff group:
– Getting out of your comfort zone…and staying
there
– Busy-ness
• Still Early days
• Firmity of purpose – keeping things local
• Excellent shortbread!
