| Recipient Org: Description | We connect more people than any other organisation in the Hebrides and there are some very unique needs in our community, due to our rural and remote island location. We are a member of the Third Sector Interface for the Western Isles. We run three social action projects in the community: ? The Embark Community Activities Project - enabling people to access community activities who would not otherwise be able to do so due to physical/mental health conditions and other additional needs, in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Elements include: The Embark Community Cycling Project, Embark Woodland Adventures mental health programme, Going Places Walking Group, and the Jubilee Community Garden Project ? Befriending Lewis & Harris - supporting around 250 people, our award-winning service offers traditional befriending, telephone befriending, kindness calls and groups events ? Islanders! Where No One is an Island - our new inclusion project, providing a variety of social events and activities, open to everyone and including ReVivers, our volunteer revival project, providing flexible, enjoyable and inclusive supported volunteering opportunities All of these projects are delivered by Volunteering Hebrides staff and volunteer teams, with a healthy foundation comprising of: ? Overwhelming community support ? A skilled board of trustees ? Committed and trained volunteers ? Committed, educated and personable staff ? Committed, skilled and educated leadership To ensure effective social inclusion and to meet the needs of all groups of people in society, our referral/joining process is structured to ensure that no restrictions are in place which may prohibit the inclusion of any groups in society. Presently we are members of the Western Isles Carers, Users and Supporters Network, the local Alcohol and Drugs Partnership and Neuro Hebrides. We work closely with the social work department, Penumbra, supported housing agencies, advocacy services, addiction recovery programmes, Sports Centres and activity groups, as well as other volunteer led organisations and charities such as the Red Cross and Samaritans of the Western Isles.
