these are your stories
These are the stories of how you shopped for your neighbours, dropped off supplies to your friends who were shielding, hosted a zoom group for those you knew needed regular outreach, organised a mutual support network and offered hope and help to your communities.

These stories inform a national research project. These are stories of local action across Scotland, whether that’s food drop-offs, support for neighbours, calls to older residents and more. This research will help shine a light on how local communities play a critical role in our future and how we can build forward better, creating a fairer Scotland for us all.

Fernhill: a story from Kirstin
I had recently formed a new group with some other local parents called The Ohana Club. Ohana means family. We had successfully launched our pilot community cinema project in February and had an upcoming trip to five sisters zoo all planned and booked for local families at the start of April. We, like many community groups, were planning holiday programmes and trying to source and secure funding to deliver our ambitious plans.
