"It promises to be an uplifting, fun and inspiring afternoon. The organisation is doing some great work to support vulnerable adults in communities across the central belt of Scotland, especially on digital inclusion, when people were home and very isolated during the pandemic.

"Our next piece of work is going to be raising awareness on rising energy costs and the impact this will have on everyone we work with.”

Neighbourhood Networks emphasise the importance of providing preventative models of support, and opportunities for mutual support, to vulnerable people who might receive little or no support and run the risk of entering significant but, nonetheless, avoidable crisis in their lives.

The organisation has its roots firmly in the notion of the renewal or revival of neighbourhoods and the wider community as places where people do not just share the same streets but actively co-operate with each other for mutual advantage.
