Each of our three Action Groups meets online, every other month, they each have a chairperson and vice chairs who shape the meeting agendas and also help set the strategic direction of the group.
We take meeting notes and share these after the meeting to aid those who were not able to attend and keep track of our progress as a group. We have around 15 member organisations in each group and try to ensure a wide variety of causes and a good geographical spread across the BOB area.
- Mental Health
- Learning Disability and Autism
- Ageing Well

Action Groups
This group focuses on how we can work in partnership as a system to support mental health services, which includes people of all ages.
The Mental Health action group has nominated members to the BOB MH partnership board, transformation committee and provider collaborative.
The Mental Health Action Planning brings together a sub group aiming to strengthen mutual understanding across sectors, leading to more collaboration between NHS and voluntary sector leaders; from strategic system conversations to grassroots community action.
