This project will reduce isolation and improve the lives of volunteers across the region by developing a permanent Time Bank in Mid Argyll, Jura, Islay and Kintyre; Bute and Cowal; Oban Lorn and the Isles; Helensburgh and Lomond; and Lochgilpead accident and emergancy hospital. The three-year project will support 1150 volunteers alleviating issues such as isolation experienced by older generations, mental health problems, social exclusion and difficulties experienced by lone-parents.
