The Child Poverty (Scotland) Bill has been introduced and it places a duty on Scottish Ministers and public bodies to publish child poverty delivery plans and to report on those plans annually. In line with Scottish Governments ambition, the Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership (CPP) has approved a strategic priority of reducing child poverty in Aberdeenshire for inclusion within Aberdeenshire’s Local Outcomes Improvement Plan (LOIP). Research has been commissioned by Aberdeenshire Council for the Poverty Alliance and the Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit to undertake work that will better understand the nature and impact of poverty in Aberdeenshire, its impact on children and families and to inform action required by Community Planning Partnership in Aberdeenshire. Results will be available in October 2017. Key aims of the research include: A literature review to understand poverty and child poverty within a rural and small town’s context, consistent with the geography of Aberdeenshire. Engagement with practitioners to identify current work in Aberdeenshire to support families living in poverty and to identify the scope for further action. Qualitative research with families living in poverty across Aberdeenshire to further understand of the impact of poverty and support required for children and families. An event for partners across Aberdeenshire to learn about the key findings from the research and to consider recommendations emerging from the research.

Dawn Tuckwood, Public Health Coordinator for the Marr area along with her fellow Public Health colleague Rachel Stewart set off with team of 10 people from the local Rambles Group to take on the challenge of scaling the great heights of Lochnagar Mountain. The group, aged between 17 – 70 plus, walked 13 miles and climbed 1155 metres in 6 hours. The group were treated to typical Scottish weather of sun, rain, fog, sun and more rain. ‘It’s was hard going but it was worth it says Rachel’. To find out about your local Rambles Group contact: Allan Nisbet Email: [email protected] WALK-ABILITY Walk-ability is a new charity based in Aberdeen that can organise and guide walks in the Scottish hills for the disabled and their carers. Their aim is simple: to ensure that everybody can enjoy time in the great outdoors regardless of their physical abilities. All walks are led by one or more highly competent guides, all of whom hold nationally recognised hill-walking qualifications and are experienced in the issues faced by disabled walkers. Where appropriate they will meet the client face-to-face before the walk to discuss any specific issues or concerns. The photo shows members of Walk-ability at their recent inaugural walk. The weather gods certainly smiled on them that day as they guided a blind client to the summit of Bennachie … and safely down again. For more information go to www.walk-ability.co.uk. CONFIDENT WEANING CHOICES: A SIMPLE APPROACH TO WEANING Toolkit undergoing final testing Weaning, or complementary feeding, refers to the introduction of food, other than breast or formula milk, to an infant until they are eating the same food as the rest of the family. Weaning should be started at 6 months and ideally not before this unless, advised by a health professional. However, according to a national infant feeding survey, over 3 in 10 mothers introduce solid foods by the time their baby is 4 months old and nearly three-quarters of mothers introduce solids by the time their baby is 5 months old. Conversations with parents, staff from Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP), Home Start and Community Learning and Development suggested a need for more up-to-date, coherent and parent friendly weaning resources. Aberdeenshire Public Health worked with these same partners to develop a toolkit comprising: - a visual flip chart presentation - detailed notes and background information for early years practitioners - fun games activities to support learning - a planner for parents that could go on the fridge, demonstrating textures at the various weaning stages. The colourful resource is undergoing its final testing by two health visiting teams in Aberdeenshire and Garioch Home Start and will be available after the summer. More information is available from Dr Mary Bellizzi Health Improvement Officer (Local Lovernment) Email: ([email protected]) HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE TEAMS IN KINCARDINE & MEARNS LEARN ABOUT LOCAL SUPPORT SERVICES Lunch & Learn sessions have been held in Kincardine & Mearns (K&M) as an opportunity to raise awareness and promote local services to health and social care teams. The outcomes of these sessions are to increase the knowledge of Health & Social care teams on the range of local support services and organisations available to signpost and refer their client group to. The sessions were initiated through the K&M Wellbeing network and K&M Welfare Solutions group which are both multi-agency groups who are working together to deliver on this project. The K&M Public Health coordinator and a Community Health in Partnership officer from Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action have taken forward organising and evaluating each session. So far Lunch & Learn sessions have been held in Stonehaven & Laurencekirk GP practices in February and April 2017 with up to fifty Health & Social Care staff attending. Representatives from ten Third Sector Organisations came along to share information on each day and further sessions are planned in K&M before end of 2017. Feedback from the sessions has been very positive with new connections made between organisations and staff who learnt more about existing services. Comments included: “As I am a student nurse I did not know about the local resources” “knowledge of services is getting better ” A follow up evaluation is planned to see if there has been any increase in referrals and signposting to third sector organisations from H&SC staff. For more information please contact: Carolyn Lamb Public Health Coordinator K&M Email: [email protected] GARIOCH COMMUNITY ‘VOICE’ THEIR SUPPORT TO HELP LOCAL PROJECTS In April 2017, local groups and organisations were asked to bid for a share of a funding of £35,000 from the Aberdeenshire Health & Social Care Partnership and Aberdeenshire Council, through a process called participatory budgeting, to help address local priorities by coming forward with projects that would “reduce social isolation” or “promote inclusion”. Sixteen projects from across the Garioch area applied and all passed the funding criteria and were accepted on to the second stage where each had to design a poster to “tell their story”. There were no limitations of what type of media could be used and how creative they could get. Out came the felt tips, paint, card, photos even glitter!!! In return we received an array of wonderful and unique, individual posters. Garioch oozed talent!! The posters were viewed by members of the public who cast their votes for those projects they felt should

  • Victoria & Albert's Highland Fling
    PROGRAMME 2 VICTORIA & ALBERT’S HIGHLAND FLING Introduction The Highlands are renowned throughout the world as a symbol of Scottish identity and we’re about to find out why. In this four-day walk we’re starting out at Pitlochry – gateway to the Cairngorms National Park – on a mountainous hike to the Queen’s residence at Balmoral. Until the 19th century, this area was seen by many as a mysterious and dangerous land. Populated by kilt-wearing barbarians, it was to be avoided by outsiders. We’re going to discover how all that changed, thanks in large part to an unpopular German prince and his besotted queen. .Walking Through History Day 1. Day 1 takes us through the Killiecrankie Pass, a battlefield of rebellious pre-Victorian Scotland. Then it’s on to an unprecedented royal visit at Blair Castle. Pitlochry to Blair Atholl, via the Killiecrankie Pass and Blair Castle. Distance: 12 miles Day 2. Things get a little more rugged with an epic hike through Glen Tilt and up Carn a’Chlamain. Then it’s on to Mar Lodge estate where we’ll discover how the Clearances made this one of the emptiest landscapes in Europe, and a playground for the rich. Blair Atholl to Mar Lodge, via Glen Tilt and Carn a’Chlamain. Distance: 23 miles Day 3. Into Royal Deeside, we get a taste of the Highland Games at Braemar, before reaching the tartan palace Albert built for his queen at Balmoral. Mar Lodge to Crathie, via Braemar and Balmoral Castle Distance: 20 miles Day 4. On our final day we explore the Balmoral estate.
