THE VISION

Why South West Villages?

The South West Villages face particular challenges in terms of population and geography. The population profile

for the area shows a higher proportion of older people than the Edinburgh average (19% of population is aged

65+ compared to 14% average for Edinburgh1) which brings benefits such as a wealth of retired volunteers who

support the many and varied activities and groups in the area. It also poses challenges however, both now and

into the future, in terms of increasing demand for health and social care services. Hospital admission rates in the

area are higher than average, a reflection of the older population, with approximately 2,500 admissions per year,

of which around 1,000 are unscheduled admissions2.

Many issues linked to ageing such as access to care and support and social isolation, are compounded by the

relative ‘rurality’ of the villages. Transport is a priority issue for the local community (see the note under

Activities section) and is also a key factor in the challenges faced by health and social care and voluntary

organisations which struggle to recruit paid carers and volunteers that are local or willing to travel from

elsewhere in the city. This means that many ‘city wide’ services are not available to people living in the South

West Villages, resulting in reduced choice, people going without or having to pay for private services.

The area is often overlooked in development work which tends to focus on areas of multiple deprivation; the

Locality Improvement Plan for South West Edinburgh3 makes little reference to any specific actions being taken

forward in the villages.

Vision

The vision for the South West Villages Project has been to build on the assets within the community in order to

address some of the challenges outlined above in order to improve the health and wellbeing of local older

people.

The project has taken a community development approach, working with existing organisations and local people

to identify issues and develop solutions for the future. The project is part of the wider LOOPs (Local

Opportunities for Older People) initiative and has worked with other LOOPs projects where appropriate, but a

focus on the South West Villages has allowed for a more targeted approach.

ACTIVITIES: WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DID

The first phase of the South West Villages Project took place in 2017 and involved the mapping of existing

services and activities along with consultation with local people to identify priorities and improvements for the

future. A Phase 1 report was produced in September 2017.

The second phase of the project took place from June to December 2018 and aimed to build on the findings of

Phase 1, narrowing the focus and looking to implement actions to help ensure that the local provision for older

people is sustainable into the future.

Following a review of the findings from Phase 1 of the project and initial meetings with relevant individuals and

groups (including co-ordinators, staff, volunteers and members of older people groups, Community Councils,

Primary School Headteacher, Health and Social Care professionals), activities were planned to address four key

issues:

1) Lack of awareness of local support and activities

2) Limited befriending and companionship services active in the area

3) Development of links between services and organisations

4) Development of ideas and options for sustainable future arrangements

A Note on the Issue of Transport

It is important to note that a key issue for local older people that was raised within the Phase 1 consultation and

throughout the further engagement work undertaken in Phase 2, was public transport. Primarily, the lack of a

direct route from the villages to St John’s Hospital in Livingston and secondly, a direct service to the Gyle

Shopping Centre, were consistently raised as having a significant impact. Examples were given of older people

spending 3 hours each way travelling to hospital appointments or visiting loved ones by bus, since the previous

direct route to St John’s was removed. Whilst the journey by road is only 10 miles each way, taxi fares are not

affordable for many, particularly if appointments or visits are frequent. Having reviewed the work done by my

predecessor in Phase 1, read recent updates in the local newspapers and spoken directly to local Councillors who

are working hard to resolve the public transport issue, I decided that as I was unlikely to be able to add anything

within the scope and resources of the project, I would not focus activity on this issue.

An outline of the activities undertaken against the four key issues identified is provided below.

Issue 1 - Lack of awareness of local support and activities The South West Villages benefit from a wide range of activities, groups and organisations that promote social connections, physical exercise and interests which can support healthy ageing. Constant effort is required to reach people through different channels to ensure that up to date information is available to those who could benefit most. Actions to increase awareness of local support and activities

• Attendance and presentations at local groups and meetings (including older people’s groups, Church

Guilds, Community Councils, Rotary Club, coffee mornings, Balerno Farmers’ Market

• Articles featured in local newspapers and magazines (including Currie and Balerno News, Konect (free

magazine distributed to all households in Currie, Balerno and Juniper Green), Church newsletters in

Balerno and Currie

• Use of social media to raise awareness and promote activities

• Production of new and update of existing leaflets and online information about local groups and

activities (see sample at Appendix 1)4

• Living Well Event held on 1 November 2018, 1-4pm in Gibson Craig Halls, Currie. 25 organisations hosted

stalls with information on support and activities available, refreshments, entertainment, activities, with

transport to and from event offered.

Issue 2 – Limited befriending and companionship services active in the area The area offers many activities and groups that are held regularly in public venues across the three villages. Whilst some groups provide transport, many are unable to offer this. For people with limited mobility or who prefer individual rather than group activities, there are few services that go to people’s homes or work with people on a one to one basis. There are a range of befriending and companionship services that serve the whole of Edinburgh which ‘in theory’ cover the villages, but ‘in practice’ are unable to due to a lack of volunteers who are willing to travel. Actions to promote befriending and companionship services and the need for volunteers:

4 The contact details of the South West Community Navigator were provided on these leaflets because as at the time it was felt that this would be a more sustainable option than providing details for the SWVP which was only funded for 6 months

4

• Identified partners of befriending and companionship services that cover the area

• Materials produced to advertise volunteering opportunities with partner organisations (including the

Eric Liddell Centre)

• Promote opportunities, targeting local volunteers and students from the nearby Heriot Watt University

(using social media, careers service, stalls and events)

Issue 3 – Development of links between services and organisations There are many organisations working with older people in the South West Villages including church groups, social clubs, exercise and interest classes, coffee mornings, cafes, sheltered housing, libraries, care agencies, GPs, day services and health and social care services. Many of these organisations are very small and are often run by volunteers. Developing links between organisations helps to ensure awareness of opportunities and support for older people in the area, can improve referral pathways, increase capacity and facilitate the sharing of information, knowledge and expertise. Actions to develop links between services and organisations

• Attendance, presentations and discussions with older people’s groups

• Meetings with health and social care teams, GP practice staff, day service providers

• Participation at South West LOOPs Network meetings and events

• Participation in Dementia Friendly Pentlands consultation events

• Planned celebration event and forum meeting to bring together small local organisations that provide

social interaction and activities for older people (to be held in early 2019)

Issue 4 – Development of ideas and options for sustainable future arrangements Part of the work of Phase 2 of the project has been to generate ideas from discussions with local groups and older people about what is needed in the area but could not be delivered within the limited timeframe of this phase. Whilst tangible, short term activities could be delivered within Phase 2, I have always been mindful of the need to develop longer term, sustainable outcomes. If the project is funded for Phase 3, the focus would move to establishing longer term developments, building on the ground work of Phases 1 and 2. Further details of what is included in the Phase 3 proposal is provided in the “What’s Next” section below.

OUTCOMES: EVIDENCE OF IMPACT There are challenges in evidencing the impact of the work undertaken including:

the short timescales of the project (which meant there was not time to do a wide ranging survey or re-visits

to the groups and also that any longer term benefits are not yet evident)

causality – the project has been working alongside other activities that may have contributed to outcomes,

it is difficult to know if these were specifically related to the South West Villages project

the nature of the project has been about working with a range of people in the community, it has not been

delivering a service with a closed group from which it would be easier to gather feedback and results.

6

Despite these challenges some of the impacts of the project can be evidenced through examples, stories and feedback, along with results of an evaluation form which was completed in relation to the Living Well Event on 1 November.

A lady got in touch after seeing the initial SWVP article in the Konect magazine. She was looking for information about relevant support and activities for her father who had mid stage dementia. Information on possible day services, exercise classes, Dementia Friendly Pentlands, befriending options (paid and unpaid) were provided. “Thanks for getting back to me & for all the information.” “I didn’t know about ‘Move it or Lose it’ or ‘Movement for All’. They both sound good.” She also raised the need for buddying support to enable her father to attend activities when she is not available to do this, echoing results from SWVP Phase 1 and Dementia Friendly Pentlands consultations. 2) Feedback from organisations

I contacted the nine befriending/ companionship services included in volunteering flyer (issue 2 above). As people were asked to contact the organisations directly, it is difficult to know how many did so as a result of the SWVP work. However, I did receive the following positive responses: Contact the Elderly – “2 new volunteers and one older person on our waiting-list to join our tea parties from the Nov event at Gibson Craig Hall.” Eric Liddell Centre befriending – “I’ve had no volunteering enquiries from the awareness raising, but I have had a befriending query from a lady living in Balerno (who I’ve now met and is awaiting a befriender who will be able to travel to her).” Vintage Vibes – “I am not sure if we have any new volunteers who have followed through yet as a result of this – we did definitely get some enquiries from students though. I remember speaking to a couple from HW [Heriot-Watt] who were sure they’d seen our information somewhere but they couldn’t think where – but I imagine that it was probably from yourself as I don’t think we’ve done any promotion there recently.” 3) Case studies/ stories

a) I chatted to a lady who came along to the Living Well Event who was pleased to have found out about local

groups that she might attend. She was keen to go along to a group that had regular speakers about

interesting topics and I was able to suggest a couple of groups that I had attended. Even with this

information, she still seemed hesitant, so I introduced her to another lady that had recently started to

attend one of these groups. She was able to tell her more about her experience of the group and

encouraged her to come along to the next meeting and to give it a go. We both then introduced her to the

co-ordinator of the group to find out more. The lady left the event confident to give the group a try and

knowing friendly faces to look out for when she gets there. This example highlights the importance of face-

to-face contact; just knowing about groups and activities is not enough for some people to attend something

new and making that first step can be daunting.

b) One of the findings from the consultation undertaken as part of SWVP Phase 1 was a perceived lack of

exercise classes for older people in the area. Soon after starting SWVP Phase 2, a new “Move it or Lose it”

class was launched in Currie. As part of my initial scoping work I took part in the class alongside three older

people. At that stage, the instructor suggested that if numbers didn’t pick up then she couldn’t continue the

class. I included information about the class in the directory and leaflets that I developed, distributed posters

and highlighted my positive experience of attending the class in all the presentations, talks and activities that

I was involved in. The class is now thriving, with around 15 regular attendees. (The instructor also undertook

activity to promote the class so it is difficult to demonstrate direct causality, but many people I spoke to

were not previously aware of the class, showed interest and actively took information).

9

c) The issue of getting support with IT and interest in local computer clubs is something that was raised

through my discussion with local older people. I was able to signpost to resources that could possibly meet

people’s need but there are no regular local computer clubs (some people travel to a club in Colinton but the

bus is infrequent and can be unreliable which is particularly difficult in the winter time). Tap into IT attended

the Living Well event and I had a follow up meeting with the Co-ordinator, who was very interested in

making links in the area, and I was able to provide information on possible venues, groups and funding.

d) I met the Chair of the Currie and Balerno District Round Table at a Community Council meeting and he noted

that they are keen to receive applications for funding from local organisations, particularly those supporting

younger and older people. During conversations with various groups and individuals, the need for small

amounts of funding was raised and I was able to direct them to the CBDRT. I hope to follow up with some of

these over the coming months to find out if they applied and have been successful.

4) Partnership opportunity for Dementia Friendly Pentlands and Eric Liddell Centre

The need for befriending, buddying to activities and support with practical tasks such as shopping and attending appointments has been identified through the South West Villages project and is a key theme which has arisen from the recent consultation events undertaken by Dementia Friendly Pentlands. The opportunity to develop a service as a partnership between the Eric Liddell Centre and Dementia Friendly Pentlands was identified through local networking between the two projects. A potential partnership would utilise the experience, processes and training already existing within the Eric Liddell Centre’s Befriending services, along with the invaluable local networks, links, potential volunteer base and expertise developed by Dementia Friendly Pentlands. These early discussions will be developed as part of SWVP Phase 3.

LONG-TERM OUTCOMES Logic modelling has been used to show the intended longer term outcomes for the project – see Appendix 3. The work undertaken in the six month, part-time, project has focussed on establishing links and networks that can be built on during Phase 3, with a focus on delivering actions that can be sustained beyond the end of the project.

REACH: HOW FAR INTO THE COMMUNITY DID YOU REACH? Establishing links with older people’s groups in the area is an effective way to reach large numbers of local older people, who can then share information with their own wider networks or friends, family, neighbours and other groups that they are part of. Presentations and talks undertaken in Phase 2 of the project reached approximately 200 people directly. The reach of some of the local groups involved is shown in the diagram below:

10

There are many more groups in the area attended by older people that were engaged through the project including membership groups such as Church Guilds, Probus and the Rotary Club, hobby and interest groups, exercise classes and café events such as the Old Boys Coffee Club, Currie Snack Lunches and the Mill Café. Printed Media Reach of articles in local newspapers with a circulation of: Currie and Balerno News = 3,000, Konect = 7,500, along with Church news and locally displayed posters and leaflets. Living Well Event Approximately 40 members of the public, 25 organisations, members of two choirs.

LEARNING FOR THE FUTURE

Living Well Event Generally, feedback from the event was very positive from both members of the public and other organisations. Feedback from the other organisations was particularly positive and I think this is due to them being involved in other similar events in other areas so they understand how difficult it is to get high numbers of attendees and they appreciate the challenges involved. Feedback in relation to ‘low turnout’ came from someone who had not been involved in similar events and therefore perhaps had higher expectations of what could be achieved.

11

A number of people suggested that holding an annual event would be beneficial. Feedback in relation to timing any future events after a publication date of the local newspaper to allow optimum promotion was a good suggestion. I would also pay for an advert for any future events, as whilst I did send details of the event to magazine editors, it is not guaranteed that they would be included unless a payment is made. Comments were received that signage outside venue may help generate footfall on the day so this would be addressed for a future event. And a suggestion made for flyers to be handed out about taster sessions. The involvement of local GPs could be a positive development for a future event – taking learning from events such as “More Than Medicine” in Fochabers (Alliance and TSI Moray) https://www.alliance-scotland.org.uk/blog/resources/health-and-wellbeing-for-all-marketplace-event-learning-report/ Importance of local networks Local links and networks are important in any community-based project, but are perhaps particularly important in more rural areas where support is provided by very small voluntary groups. The need to develop relationships and use existing networks is key to success and appreciating the nuances of working with the community, and not being seen as trying to take over or parachute in ideas are paramount. The project has reinforced my view that the challenges faces by city wide service in recruiting local volunteers in the SWV area can be best met by working with existing groups and organisations who are better placed to identify and recruit volunteers, supporting them to do so. Similarly, any service developments are likely to be more successful if affiliated with existing and trusted local projects, hence the idea of a partnership Dementia Friendly Pentlands.

CHALLENGES AND CHANGES

The South West Villages face a number of challenges related to population and geography. Older people contribute to and benefit from a strong community spirit, but issues include transport difficulties and few services that ‘go to’ people who are less mobile or prefer one to one support. Challenges for the project included:

Reaching isolated older people and those most in need. This is a persistent challenge and different channels

need to be identified and used, for example GPs, pharmacy, local newspapers and word of mouth. The use

of ‘hooks’ to get people involved can be effective eg Caring Soles brings people to the service for footcare,

but allows an opportunity for signposting and linking in to other activities and information.

A number of the groups are overwhelmingly female – this likely to be partially due to life expectancy, but

also that men don’t want to engage in the activities that are available or are put off by groups being

predominately female. There are however other groups in the area that many men attend eg Rotary Club,

Probus, Bowling Clubs etc.

Many groups have a long summer break, the main reason given is to give volunteers a break, but it leaves a

gap in activities for many. Responses to this include Currie Snack lunches that set up a Summer Pop-Up Café.

Gap in SWVP and change in staff – the nature of the project means that time was required to establish

connections. Despite detailed information being left by the Phase 1 worker, a gap of around 8 months

between Phases 1 and 2, along with the need to re-establish relationships meant that less was achieved than

if the project and worker had continued seamlessly.

Working with small voluntary organisations means that it is difficult to arrange meetings – volunteers and

part-time workers don’t have the time or capacity to attend meetings and are already giving a lot.

Risk that the project is seen as ‘just another short term project’ which affects people’s buy-in or interest.

Transport is a priority for many people in the area (see note under Activities section). For a small number of

people, this led to an inability to move beyond this topic - if the project wasn’t committing to resolve this

issue, they were not interested.

12

WHAT’S NEXT?

The work undertaken in Phase 1 included broad ranging action including consultation with local people, establishing

networks and mapping community assets. Phase 2 focused on the gaps identified and how existing resources could

be developed to address some of these gaps. The opportunity for Phase 3 would be to build on this previous work to

develop tangible and longer term solutions for the South West Villages. Phase 3 would include the following work

streams:

1) Developing plans and identifying funding for a local, flexible befriending/ buddying/ companionship

service in partnership with Dementia Friendly Pentlands

2) Piloting the use of a ‘circles of support’ type App to support informal community networks

3) Building capacity and sharing skills and experience between small voluntary organisations in the area

4) Further awareness raising of support and activities for older people and work to reach the most isolated

individuals

5) Researching and developing proposals to continue the South West Villages development work.
