Weaving Networks in MAKI

Weaving Networks in MAKI

(Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands)

COPE Scotland is committed to helping build connections, weave networks and work collaboratively. We have been fortunate as members of Q Health  to secure funding through the Health Foundation, supporting Q connections fund to establish a Quality Improvement Network. 

There are so many amazing things happening in MAKI and we already had connections there with the Snowdrop Centre that we approached colleagues in the area to see if this may have value and add to what was already happening. We were delighted when the response was so positive. We had our first official meeting in April and are exploring our priorities for working together. What has become clear already is that this is about weaving and connecting between the amazing work already happening. We also want to share our learning. To do this we shall share our story and other pieces which may be of interest for others interested in weaving networks.

The areas of interest have developed and to try and make it easier to tap into the work we have been doing, we are sharing updates here. These include Pixar Pitches which give an overview of what we are doing and discussing when we get together at Weaving Networks in MAKI meet ups.

There has also been a lot of information being shared and these fall into the following categories:

  • AI and Tech

  • Carers, Older adults and Self-Directed support

  • Children, Parents and young people

  • Community Wealth Building

  • Community engagement co production and design

  • Financial wellbeing and Employment

  • Loneliness and Isolation

  • Networks and Tools to Support Networks

  • Workforce wellbeing

In the Pixar Pitches we often share diagrams, the PDF of these diagrams also have their own section. This is an evolving section, with new materials added often. If you would like something added please email Hilda.

We also have an events calendar which shares details of upcoming events and other events which may be of interest. Again, if you would like something added please email Hilda.
