We had two sessions, one afternoon and one evening, to ensure that as many people as possible could come along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The format of the workshops was planned to ensure that everyone got from the event what was promised but with enough flexibility that conversations and the stream of ideas were not hindered. Fiona from PKAVS led us in activities to get to know each other better; Rikke gave a brief presentation of the project to date and the aspirations the partners have for it; and Joyce led us into discussing everyone&#8217;s expectations and aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then&nbsp;sought to address three questions about the future of care and support in Pitlochry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. How can we better support people in Pitlochry?<br> 2. How can we think more creatively about how people are supported?<br> 3. What could the caring Pitlochry look like in future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We noted all answers and thoughts on post-it notes to document the conversation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. How can we better support people in Pitlochry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Feel supported by the community whether you\u2019re newcomer, old, young etc<\/li><li>Consider the feelings people have when they move to Pitlochry<\/li><li>Find out people\u2019s assets<\/li><li>Address transport issues to and from the town<\/li><li>Find out the needs of people who are \u2018behind closed doors\u2019<\/li><li>Get emergency \/ \u2018points of reference\u2019 information through people\u2019s doors<\/li><li>Some people feel isolated<\/li><li>There is loneliness<\/li><li>Work with the \u2018pockets\u2019 of things happening, use existing groups.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2. How can we think more creatively about how people are supported?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Get information out to people through existing routes: Newsround, Quiar, town blog \/ website<\/li><li>Bring young and older together<\/li><li>Bring different interest groups together<\/li><li>Share information \/ communicate better<\/li><li>Think of those who can\u2019t or don\u2019t leave their homes<\/li><li>The biennial newcomer event is very good &#8211; have these more often?<\/li><li>Create workshops for business aspirants<\/li><li>Create a forum to discuss a new, shared space<\/li><li>Bring together people with similar goals in business<\/li><li>Include young parents.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>3.

The ideas wall will be a permanent feature in the workshops. The first sessions&#8217; ideas are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.iriss.org.uk\/pitlochry\/files\/2013\/12\/Screen-Shot-2013-12-03-at-14.58.38.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2013-12-03 at 14.58.38\" class=\"wp-image-115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.iriss.org.uk\/pitlochry\/files\/2013\/12\/Screen-Shot-2013-12-03-at-14.58.38.png 595w, https:\/\/blogs.iriss.org.uk\/pitlochry\/files\/2013\/12\/Screen-Shot-2013-12-03-at-14.58.38-243x300.png 243w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The suggestions made in this workshops will form the basis of the next workshops in which we will map community assets and seek to determine how and where solutions can be found to move towards a more caring and supportive Pitlochry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our first workshop were held on Tuesday 26th November at the Atholl Centre.
