Only residents have knowledge of living 24/7 year-round in a local community. Given space and support they know what needs to be done, how best to do it, and who best to do it, in ways that even the very best professionals simply can't because they don't live and sleep there.
We daily engage the threadbare social fabric of our post-industrial society, where ppl often lack secure embeddedness in a family, a workplace, a neighbourhood, or a community of interest. This represents both a social & health hazard: to which community building is the response.

The “Build it and they will come” mantra is nearly always misguided. The reality is “If they build it and own it, they will stay”. Process eats product for breakfast. It’s all about the relocating authority. Checkout our new book: https://t.co/xyqc1xK1sY
Imagine if the parable of the loaves and fishes/the feeding of the multitudes, started with an needs analysis, instead of an asset inventory. How would that have reframed the outcome? Maybe, needs analysis needs analysis?! #theconnectedcommunity
Laptop switched off for last time. Let early retirement commence - 32 years in North Ayrshire, nearly 40 years as a Community Worker, sad to leave friends, colleagues and great communities but now time to chill … 🥰
