Description

arransound.com's volunteers want to use the radios outreach abilities to find and meet all those of whatever age and situation on the island who may be facing isolation  or lonliness due to circumstances outwith their control, be it distance , financial, illness or disability, the duties of caring or restrictions of work.  We want to meet and listen to their concerns and needs. To hear and record their ideas and suggestions for dealing with and overcoming those obsticals to inclusion and community envolvment.    Building connections accross the Island, strenthening and fostering our community  as more of our residents find their voices and see the physical and mental health benefits that can come from simply talking to each other.

Outreach, google notes ; ' is the activity of providing services to any population that might not otherwise have access to those services. A key component of outreach is that the group providing it is not stationary, but mobile; in other words, it involves meeting someone in need of an outreach service at the location where they are. '  

Visiting every village, forging strong relationships and  volunteer engagement with the  station,  building that peerless attribute, community spirit. 

Community; 'a social unit, with shared a shared socially-significant characteristic, such as place, culture or customs'.  Inclusion and involvement with others around us is necessary for our health and well-being,  Human beings need human beings to thrive. Community means the involvemnt of all those within it.  Our volunteers intend to use the road shows to reach and involve as many members of Arran's community as possible, making friends, sharing ideas, learning new skills  and having lots of fun. We will be offering friendship, introduction to new and varied ideas alongside basic technical training and the opportunity to increase skills in many different ways and the simple   joy of conversation, enquiry and knowledge gained.  

Inviting Eco Savvy, the Repair Cafe and the community projects to join us we will broaden our offering to the community   on a regular basis  to help combat the lonliness and isolation still so prevalent on the island.
