Outcome area - Raising the profile
Moving in to the NM office, in April 2003, has made NM much more visible. Stalls at community fairs over summer, stalls in the shopping centre, our high profile election campaign (using radio, TV, press, bus advertising, Post Office advertising) has resulted in much greater awareness of NM in the community. Bi - monthly newsletters are delivered to every household.

In terms of engaging service providers we have focused in particular on our profile within the Council, given the new administration (May 2003) and Chief Executive (August 2003), for example inviting the Cabinet, local ward members and the Chief Exec to meet the Board on a number of occasions.

We made a presentation to the Bournemouth Partnership (LSP) and are a key member of its developing Communities Tackling Crime Forum and its local Community Safety Action Group.
