Community ownership of physical assets is a well established concept in Scotland, but what about the ownership and management of digital assets that help build wealth in the community?

Over the next few months we’ll be working with the a local community development trust, to test out a simple idea - the creation and management of a community owned 'What’s on Dunoon' website, that has income generating potential.

Our goal is to help people make the most of community events and local services by simply creating an accessible space to post information that is managed and owned by the community.

Without rain there wouldn't be rainbows.

This is the title of a new work developed as part of the beach hut project.

A broken guttering and bench have been creatively fixed and some window decorations added, adapting existing, but slightly neglected elements of the built environment on West Bay to bring a bit of cheer.

Take a seat, enjoy the view and take in the dynamic, changeable weather of the West coast.

Only 5.1% of adults with a learning disability are in paid work. One of the key barriers keeping people out of employment is their access to transport to and from work.

That is why the Travel Buddy scheme developed by My Life My Choice is such a brilliant solution. By training people with learning disabilities to use public transport and supporting them to train their peers, they have created a simple, cost effective solution to this problem 🚌 🚆

Using public transport to and from work, means you can also live a more independent life out of work, what's not to 💚

I have been working with My Life My Choice through the Social Enterprise Academy as they launch the Travel Buddy scheme into the world.

If you are an employer serious about inclusion, or a group looking to support people with disabilities into work, make sure you take a look at their offer here>

Find out how you can bring the Travel Buddy scheme to your organisation!
