The aim was to widen the opportunity for minority ethnic community members to exchange ideas with each other and relevant agencies in order to propose steps forward on relevant issues.

The Chair thanked the Isle of Wight Council for assisting with funding and the Hampshire Constabulary, the NHS and the Rural Community Council for support.

Fifty-nine participants attended the Forum and everyone had opportunity to give some views. There were three speakers, one from the Council on progress since Forum 1 and two members of the Friendship Groups who talked about some of their experiences in the Groups.
