> Hi everybody,
>
> Bit of a heads up from Reprezent following the news that Manchester is
> going to be in control of their whole NHS budget.......
>
> We managed to get a decent commission from one of our local Clinical
> Comissioning Groups (CCG) to run a campaign during last years Mental Health
> Awareness Week. CCG's are in control of local health budgets, in order to
> respond to specific local needs. The one we worked with has one of the
> largest youth populations in the country, so it was a good fit with us.
>
> Much as CCG's can recognise and respond to local need, so can Community
> Stations.
>
> It's a good idea to look at their local priorities and how your station
> aligns with them, then make an approach! Ours targeted the stigma around
> discussing mental health, and the resultant ignorance and fear. This
> problem in the long term can become critical if the person is unaware of
> the support available, as well as costly to society. It also fits with the
> Govt's policy push on early interventions.
>
> Another important element to take into account is how you're going to
> measure the impact of the campaign - it makes it a lot easier for
> commissioners to spend their money with you!
>
> We won an award with the health sector's magazine equivalent of the NME
> (Health Services Journal), which was great and opens the door to
> demonstrating the impact community radio can have.
>
> For more info, we put together a short film for the judging panel -
