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.
So far this includes a Pixar Pitch of the idea behind the MAKI QI Network. Our first completed Jigsaw Lid for Networking which we shall use to help focus our activities together. There is already some great work happening within MAKI to map local resources. We shall also produce a more general resource lists which may be of interest to MAKI members and the wider community.
The Pixar Pitch for our latest meeting shall be posted soon. We are also delighted at the range of speakers who are connecting with us to share the amazing work they are doing. Please contact Hilda if you would like to learn more.
None of us can do this alone, that is why we have each other.
