Community Transport Association’s Post

🎉 Today, we’re highlighting the fantastic work of Pembrokeshire Association of Community Transport Organisations (PACTO), who over the last year have carried out extensive public community transport consultation in Wales. Running for over 30 years, PACTO uses its strong local connections with community transport providers to offer journeys helping to combat social and rural isolation across Pembrokeshire and showcase the impact that community-led solutions can deliver for disabled people.

Real change can happen only when the when a community comes together to work towards a common goal. At Shelter Associates, Community Mobilization is one of the pillars of our success. In Episode 2 of our series on how we gain the support of the community and build #ambassadors of #change through our Community Mobilization initiatives, Jayda Khan, Community Worker at Shelter Associates talks about the concept of Corner Meetings. Typically, Corner Meetings, are casual encounters with members of the slum community and can take place at tea stalls or kirana stores etc. They play a key role in reinforcing the message, discussions and actions to be taken. In addition, these meetings cement our relationship with the community. #change #changemakers #mobilization #focusgroup #cornermeetings #communitymobilization

An opportunity to feed into a study on opportunities for #CommunityWealthBuilding (CWB) in the Highlands and Islands. This is basically about bringing 'wealth' back into communities to benefit local people. Highlands and Islands Enterprise have commissioned this research to collate the experiences and views of community groups on: 🔹 Motivations and drivers: What inspires your work? 🔹 Volunteer and employee contributions: The role of people in your organisation. 🔹 Engagement with the local community: How you connect with those you serve. 🔹 Language, culture, and heritage: The importance of preserving local identity. 🔹 Assets and income sources: Understanding your resources. 🔹 Aspirations and support needs: What’s next for your community? Please fill this out yourself if you are part of a community group based in the Highlands and Islands Regional Economic Partnership area (note this includes Arran and Cumbrae), or share this with your networks. The survey is open until the end of October so still plenty of time to feed into it. #Scotland #Community #EconomicDevelopment #WealthBuilding #Survey #Engagement #Highlands #Islands #Arran #Cumbrae #CBW
