Sonas Trustee report for OSCR
This small group working in partnership with South Islay Development has been diligent during the year with exploring sites and plans for a facility to offer 0-3 year olds childcare 5 days per week.
Initial work with Argyll & Bute Council and Bruach Architects to house the facility within Ramsay Hall fell foul of the Care Inspectorate standards with its recommendations for structural changes which could not be implemented.
The board then had to rethink its approach. During this phase Central Government announced increases in the provision of childcare nationally. Islay was designated as one of three Western Isles with a priority need for childcare. A new build was encouraged with potential accompanying revenue funding which did not materialise. Another disappointment.
A site within the new Port Ellen Playing Fields complex has been identified and agreed with South Islay Development. Fortunately, basic utilities of electricity, water and waste disposal are already available.
Later in 2024 further round of CLLD funding will be announced. The Sonas will apply for this to fulfil RIBA stage 4.
This is being followed by Highlands & Islands Enterprise with a view to RIBA stage 5 [construction].
A revised business plan will have to be instigated with InspirAlba due to the move away from Ramsay Hall. ‘Wrap around care” for older children has had to be put aside at this time.
The project has the active support of our MP, MSP, Argyll & Bute Counsellors and Argyll & Bute Chief Social Work Officer/Head of Children, Families and Justice Service Argyll & Bute Health and Social Care Partnership
The immediate future will see the need for revenue funding to for Royal Institute of British architects [RIBA] RIBA stages 2;3;4.
After a languid period of enterprise and
disappointment the outlook has become encouraging.
Membership and officers of the Sonas Board remain unchanged offering valued continuity.
