Does your organisation need volunteers? We can publicise your volunteering opportunity on Volunteer Scotland’s website along with on our own website in order to reach the maximum amount of interested people! We also offer broadcasting where we send your opportunity to all the volunteers on our records who have shown an interest in that activity. This is a great way to advertise the roles within your organisation and get those much-needed volunteers. We have recently developed an online form for volunteering opportunities to make it easier for organisations. Here is the direct link to the form: Volunteer Opportunity Form | Voluntary Action South Lanarkshire (vaslan.org.uk) or you can find it on the VASLAN website under ‘Volunteering’ then ‘Volunteer Recruitment’. If you have any questions, or need some support in developing volunteer roles then please email [email protected] PLEASE PASS ON TO THE RELEVANT VOLUNTEER CO-ORDINATOR WITHIN YOUR ORGANISATION Kind Regards, Becca VASLan Hamilton, ML3 0EW Tel: 01698 300390 Web: www.vaslan.org.ukere to edit.

to Sharing on behalf of Scottish Ambulance Service. Air Ambulance Re-procurement Consultation – Last Call for Feedback! The Scottish Ambulance Service's air ambulance operation mainly transfers patients to and from hospital from remote, rural and island communities. This includes providing air ambulance services to support ScotSTAR retrieval teams. The aircraft used by the Air Ambulance Service are provided as part of a managed contract which is due to expire. As part of the contract review process, SAS launched a consultation and engagement exercise last year to gather feedback on this important service before air ambulance arrangements are renewed. SAS is now in the final feedback stage of the consultation and engagement process and is encouraging anyone with views on its Air Ambulance Service to get in touch if they haven’t done so already. To contribute to the consultation, please email [email protected] by 17 March. A consultation and engagement report outlining progress so far is available on the Scottish Ambulance Service website at: airambulancefinal.pdf (scottishambulance.com) Thanks all Gillian & Gillian Healthcare Improvement Scotland Community Engagement - Lanarkshire Office Click here Dear Colleague,When the idea was first mooted that public bodies should consider transferring some of their prized assets into community ownership, I undertook some entirely unscientific market research by asking some local authority asset managers what they thought. Armed only with the recently published report of the Quirk Review, (which surprised everyone with its enthusiastic tone) I was met, not with reasoned arguments about it being too complicated or risky to contemplate (these would come later), but instead with a genuine sense of bewilderment as to what I was talking about. The whole idea seemed to offend some deeply held set of public service values in a way that I remember being equally bewildered by. Although my sample size was small, the clear inference was that the core interests of a local authority were distinctly different, and at some distance, from the communities they served. And despite today’s much more enlightened policy mood, many communities continue to face inexplicable levels of intransigence as they navigate their way around the landscape of Scotland’s public sector. I sometimes reflect back on those interviews with that group of local authority managers and find myself wondering, if we’re really honest, whether very much has changed.
Best wishes Angus Hardie, Director Email: [email protected] On the ground:Policy talk: A riot not yet quelledIn 1874, the crofters on the island of Great Bernera became the first community to successfully fight back against their landowner’s efforts to clear them from the land. What became known as the Bernera Riot sowed the seeds of the modern day crofting and land reform movements. 150 years later the island’s crofters face a similar struggle with the actions (or inaction) of their absentee landlord. Frustrated by the aristocratic landowner’s indifferent attitude, the community have concluded their only option is to mount a hostile buyout. A difficult road to travel as nearby Pairc Trust will testify. …read more Delivering community wealthWith the launch of the pre-legislation consultation for community wealth building (CWB), the detail of what this might look like on the ground may become clearer. SCOTO - Scotland’s newest community led network - might not describe their work as CWB, but I’d be surprised if the message they're promoting isn’t very close to what eventually emerges. The City of Chicago has been at this for a little longer than Scotland and if the package of support the City’s mayor has just announced is anything to go by, our sector has a lot to look forward to. …read more Creating Health and Wealth By StealthThat intransigence referred to in today's intro is everywhere. While Healthy Options, based in Oban, is literally turning lives around and relieving untold pressure on NHS budgets and staff, its contribution remains inexplicably and firmly under the radar. At a national level, the organisation that supports the country’s largest men’s health network - Scottish Men's Sheds Association - may close its doors next month for want of an amount that should be easily affordable. A new report, just published by England's Locality, on the impact of community anchors on local health and wellbeing provides more evidence. …read more Shared ownership on offerIt’s frustrating that despite the growth of the renewable energy sector and the vast wealth that it generates, there’s still no national plan to capture a proportion of that wealth for the common good. Some communities, through sheer hard work and perseverance, have managed to secure a slice of the action. Others have been gifted crumbs from the developers’ table of ££ per MW to compensate for the inconvenience. But now shared ownership seems to be on offer from many developers. It’s not a national plan but so far it's the best we’ve got. Local Energy Scotland are offering support to any community that’s tempted.. …read more Culture is central to communityIt’s fair to say that the Scottish Government won praise from our arts and culture sector for the support it provided during the pandemic. It does however make you wonder why it bothered if the cuts proposed in the Scottish Government’s budget are voted through this week. Investment in arts often seems regarded as low hanging fruit when times get tough despite all the evidence that to cut funding in these particular circumstances is always a false economy. And the evidence for that is even more compelling when seen through the lens of place - such as Fittie in Aberdeen. …read more From theory to practiceFor many years now we’ve seen the emergence of a plethora of frameworks for measuring the relative health of society - from national and even global perspectives all the way down to community scale. Almost all of which seem to be a response to what is now widely recognised as the inherent weakness of GDP as the primary or even sole unit of measurement. Interesting work by the Centre for Thriving Places which suggests that most of these frameworks are all just variations of the same thing. The much bigger challenge is how to move from the theoretical to practical. …read more Featured anchor organisation: Birse Community Trust (BCT)The impetus to establish BCT in 1998 came from two sources. Firstly, there was increasing recognition within the local community during the 1990s that the community needed the means to tackle an increasing range of local issues. Secondly, towards the end of the 1990s, the need arose to safeguard the future of ancient rights over the extensive area known as the Forest of Birse Commonty. Birse Community Trust (BCT) was set up in 1998 to hold the Commonty Rights on behalf of the community and constituted as a local community business to enable it to be involved in a wide range of activities “to promote the common good of the inhabitants of the parish of Birse and deliver wider public benefits”. …read the full profile on our website For a definition of Anchor Organisation http://www.scottishcommunityalliance.org.uk/on-the-ground/anchor-orgs/ To receive these briefings directly, you can sign up here: http://www.scottishcommunityalliance.org.uk You can also unsubscribe to the briefings at any time by clicking here. © 2015 Scottish Community Alliance, 21 Walker Street, Edinburgh EH3 7HX Tel: 0131 260 9501 | M: 0776 0270 432| Email: [email protected] | Twitter: @LocalPeopleLeadThe Alliance has been incorporated by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SC042430).

Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. A new Community Wish List has been launched by South Lanarkshire Council. The list will enable groups and organisations to make requests for specific support to benefit their local community. The types of support groups can apply for can be anything from volunteering time, professional support and advice, donation of goods, materials or IT equipment or a financial donation. The wishes will be selected and fulfilled by suppliers delivering council contracts who have made a commitment to deliver a range of benefits locally. Chair of the council’s Finance and Corporate Resources Committee, Councillor Lesley McDonald, said: “The Community Wish List is a great way of connecting local communities with local contractors who have said they want to help their area. “Of course its success lies in people coming forward and telling us what support you need in your area. “The ideas we have suggested above are only a guide, we are reliant on groups and organisations coming forward and telling us what they need. “Our contractors and suppliers will be able to see the ‘wishes’ that have been submitted, and if they think it is something they can do, our Community Wish List officer will be in touch with all the details. “I look forward to seeing the wonderful ideas that will be put forward coming to fruition.” Please note there are no guarantees that every request will be selected, or a timeframe given of when or if they will be taken forward.
