On Friday 30th January, Gayle and Vivien joined seven Bield tenants at Abercrombie Court for our first planning meeting.
We discussed why people wanted to be involved and what we each could bring. We talked about what we would like to achieve, and what we needed to find out before we start.
The group agreed that they would like to create opportunities for social activities for older people in the village. Important questions were, to find out what local people would want to be involved with and how to reach those who might be feeling lonely or isolated. We decided that we would ask local people at the ‘Old Folks Tea’ a well-attended annual event, happening in February. We also decided to visit the ‘Autumn Club’ a local group that meets weekly between October and March in the village hall. As well as this we decided to attend the Community Council meeting and to contact Fife Council about other activities and support that might be available. We shared out visits to local groups, people and places that might help us to develop our ideas. Here is a summary of our plan
We agreed to feedback on our findings at our next meeting on 20th March.
