Chairs report-Islay Link Club Nov 2022-Nov 2023

Islay Link Club members and guests have continued to meet on a weekly basis at Kilarrow Hub building and gardens, Bowmore.

We have been fortunate enough to have regular input from an experienced group/community arts and crafts facilitator, The group has really benefitted from her creativity and enthusiasm. From these activities, we enjoyed bringing together a number of hand made items to sell as gifts to raise money for the club. We booked our usual stall at the annual Islay, Jura and Colonsay Agricultural Show.

We have been able to buy a gazebo and purchase a pop up banner and other promotional items thanks to generous donations from friends of the Islay Link Club. Everyone was pleased with the stall and the professional look of our gazebo. About eight folk were part of team that run the stall for the day. Giving opportunities for individuals to talk to a variety of folk about what we do as a club. I enjoyed observing a diverse mix of folk working together to help run the stall and having lots of positive conversations with each other and the wider public. A positive experience and mental health message!

Our self employed Researcher, continues in her work as Post Pandemic Health and Wellbeing Assessor for Islay. Engaging actively within our communities as she speaks with individuals, families, groups, health and social care professionals to record and collate as many lived experiences of using and working within H and S.C. services since the Covid 19 Pandemic on Islay. If folk need immediate help and are struggling to access support, will signpost or flag up her concerns with health professionals as and when needed.

The committee and with help from club members, facilitated a Xmas Goodie Bag project. We approached local businesses for donations of treats and other feel-good items and we

purchased winter gloves and snoods to add to the bags. We were able to fill 50 festive goodie bags and these were delivered to folk experiencing social isolation and loneliness during the festive period. We got some lovely positive responses when delivering the goodies across the island. The Link Club has gone digital. We now have a facebook page and the committee agreed to the purchase of a website set up/design using Wix, to promote the Link Club, with information about what the Link Club offers and advice and information web pages on mental health support and services both locally and nationally. I would like to thank the committee members; for their support and input during this period. Chair.
