This is the truth of community development. We don’t need any more middle class ‘missionaries’ and their colonialist charities plonking middle class imports into working class communities.

Ewan Gibbs An Independent Scotland has to be fully devolved to its Regions.

All the way down to communities level.

Ewan Gibbs It is a logical consequence of devolution. If decisions in Westminster are wrong for all parts of the UK why should decisions in Hollywood be right for all parts of Scotland?

#CLThroLivedLens24 Parent speaker held up to the audience a perfect rubik's cube.

🎤'A child has all needs met when all sides match.'

They then proceeded to jumble up the cube.

Overwhelming evidence here & from Wigan that community investment works. What stops us resourcing community & prevention? Power & 💰 lies with “providers” but we know this model is fundamentally flawed. Courageous ICS leadership needed to shift power to people from organisations

Amazing! ⬇️👍

Thank you to DAERA Minster Andrew Muir MLA’s Team for meeting with NIRWN today to discuss all things rural women and Rural Affairs
How do we ensure that rural women are ‘visible, influential and valued’ & at the heart of a living, working, active landscape, valued by everyone?

Qualitative research friends, what is your favorite ethnography or interview-based study? Looking for book and article recs for an undergrad qualitative research methods class this fall. All suggestions welcome! 🤓

Grass-roots is where we're seeing the work being done.

And that's problematic bc the funding isn't going there.

Very glad to have had you & FYP there.

Congratulations to the community of Eigg who celebrated the official opening of their new community and visitor hub, An Laimhrig, yesterday.
The facility will deliver economic and social benefits - its creation shows that community ambition and commitment are as strong as ever.

That sounds excellent.

Beware of loud words and quiet actions. The biggest truth is demonstrated, not spoken.

This cannot & should not be ignored.

We need to talk about this 🐘

Funders need to be listening.

PS: We're not after anyone's funding.
We want *genuine* supporters for those affected + working for orgs to not be needed at all.
Perhaps that's why the lack of support for our us

Janine Ewen British Society of Criminology Conference 2024 Thank you, Janine. Like, I suspect, others in my situation, I couldn't submit an abstract this year because of caring responsibilities. This kind of decision has gendered effects. I'd ask British Society of Criminology Conference 2024 to reconsider, at least for members who have attended and presented recently.
