| Comms [Lorna] Consultancy page is now live. We’ve only had a handful of visitors so far (most probably from the SG) so if we want to promote this more I can do some work on this. Website Development – We are at the beginning of some large development work on the website to provide more resources to both public and partners across the five working groups area. This will we hope lead to ShefFood’s website being a central hub for food resources in the city. This will be the main focus over the next few months. Social media pack for partners – Does the steering group have any comments or feedback on the pack before we start pushing out to partners? Articles are going well and we are being more proactive in reaching out to partners for them to share their work. | Email newsletter to focus on the governance changes and transparency. Lorna to continue work on the social pack and develop a plan for sending it out to partners. |
