The theatre group presented ‘Meet the Wiltons’ (part Waltons, part Simpsons!) at secondary schools in Argyll recently as part of the Financial Inclusion Project being developed by ACHA. Over 650 pupils aged 14-18 will benefit from education on personal finance covering areas such as; managing money conflicts with parents, budgeting for a first home and pressure from advertising causing debt. The object of the road show is to give young people information to stop them getting into debt and to give them local contacts if they need advice. This project is supported by local advice giving agencies like CAB, Young Scot and the Councils Debt Advice staff. A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our tenants Chief Executive’s comments By the time you get this Newsletter the stock transfer will be two years old. The two years have gone by very quickly and they have not been without their challenges. The Association hasn’t got everything right but, as an organisation, I hope we learn quickly from any mistakes to get it right second time. Over the two years we have installed 1,722 kitchens and bathrooms, 868 heating and rewires, 846 windows and doors and 9many re-roofs in theand years cladding. to come We to meet the areas are now on site in Campbeltown and Garelochhead with our first new build housing schemes. We hope this will be the first of housing needs. The Association has also taken a stance in dealing with anti social behavior resulting in a number of evictions. I am sure we have the support of the vast majority of tenants in taking this action and I would like to thank all of our tenants who have worked with us to allow us to tackle anti social behavior in all its forms. The Association’s Community Action Fund has also proved very successful. This fund has in- vested nearly £10,000 through small grants of up to £300 to community projects across Argyll and Bute. The Association’s work is also having a wider economic impact. Many Argyll-based businesses are now tied in with ACHA’s long term investment programmes which has a spin-off in terms of retaining and expanding tradesmen opportunities. The future will not be without its challenges but we have made a good start and with the partnership and support of our tenants and the wider community, ACHA can be a force for much good in Argyll and Bute. Can I finish on a personal note and wish you all theAlastair very best MacGregor, over this festive Chief season.

Cash crisis As we all struggle to manage our money and the credit crunch hits harder all the time, ACHA together with the other local housing associations have developed a project to try to give tenants and Young people some help and advice. Funded largely by the Scottish Government, the project has 3 parts to it, firstly the school road show because prevention is always better than cure when it comes to debt. Secondly, we are currently developing a handbook for tenants that will give clear information that will hopefully make managing your money a bit easier and help you to make good choices in money matters. Lots of experienced money and debt advice organisations are contributing to this and it will give you details of all the people in Argyll who can offer some help. These handbooks will be ready in March and will be sent out to you. Thirdly, the project will promote credit unions and we are very pleased to say that you can now go into any ACHA office to pay in to a Scotwest Credit Union savings account (the other local credit unions are considering this service too). Credit unions are financial co-operatives - people helping people - all of the customers are members and there are no shareholders. By saving a little money regularly it may protect you from debt or expensive credit.

  • The Macarthur Surname
    The MacArthur Surname Surname: MacArthur Branch: MacArthur Origins: Scottish Country: Scotland Scottish Flag Arms of Scotland Background: In Gaelic, MacArthur means Son of Arthur. The Clan MacArthur is one of the oldest of Argyll and its age is referred to in the proverb, "There is nothing older, unless the hills, MacArthur and the devil". The MacArthurs themselves claim descent from Arthur, that early resistance fighter who may have fought against the expansionist English for the Scots. The MacArthurs supported Bruce and were rewarded with grants of extensive lands in Argyll including those of the MacDougalls and the chief was appointed Captain of the Castle of Dunstaffnage. This was indeed the peak of their fortunes for when James I returned from exile in England, in his launch to regain power he executed Iain MacArthur chief of the clan from which the clan never recovered. From thereafter it was the name of Campbell rather than MacArthur that flourished in the region. Heraldry Motto: Fide Et Opera, Faith and Work. Battle Cry: Olso O' Elso, Listen O'listen. Arms: Azure, a maltese cross Argent, between three antique crowns. Crest: Two laurel branches in orle proper. Badge: Two laurel branches in orle, proper. Plant: Fir club moss, wild myrtle. History of the MacArthur Surname he MacArthur’s are Celts, and the family of Arthur is one of the oldest clans in Argyll, so ancient that even in remote Celtic times there was a Gaelic couplet which is freely translated, ‘the hills and streams and Mac-alpine but whence came forth MacArthur?’ The MacArthur’s supported Robert the Bruce in the struggle for the independence of Scotland, and their leader, Mac ic Artair, was rewarded with lands in mid Argyll, which had belonged to those who had opposed the king.

  • Old Castle Lachlan to Kilmun
    Driving Tour between Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmun – connecting the Mausoleums of two historic Highland families, the Maclachlans and the Campbells Old Castle Lachlan – Newton - Strachur – Loch Eck - Benmore Botanic Gardens – Historic Kilmun This picturesque round trip through Argyll’s Cowal peninsula is approximately 50 miles and takes you from Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel on Loch Fyne, to Loch Eck, and ends at Historic Kilmun on Holy Loch near Dunoon. It contains several stopping places worth devoting plenty of time to. We recommend a whole day to see everything with an additional day if you would like to explore the many forestry tracks by mountain bike or on foot. Beginning at Old Castle Lachlan the tour will lead you down the banks of Loch Eck to the resting place of the Clan Campbell chiefs, the Dukes of Argyll, at Kilmun. There are beautiful views of the mountains with picnic stops and Forestry Commission walks along the way. Please remember to drive on the left and take your time on the winding narrow roads. Starting Point: Old Castle Lachlan, Lachlan Bay Old Castle Lachlan The ancient seat of the Maclachlan Clan makes a fine looking ruin and easy walking paths encourage you to explore and enjoy your surroundings. It is a hidden gem on Loch Fyne, standing out on the loch since the 15th Century, once a centre of local life. However, the castle has lain empty since the 17th Clan Chief took sides with Bonnie Price Charlie and died on the battlefield of Culloden in 1746. The current clan chief and his family live in the white 'new' castle you can see on your walk.

As a consequence small changes to the statistical data contained within this report may occur. Further details of the appeals process are included in Appendix 1. 1.3 It is recommended that the Community Services Committee: a. Considers and notes the outcome of the initial SQA awards for pupils in academic year 2019/20 ie I. National 4 results are above the national outcome by 9.1%. II. National 5 results are above the national outcome by 2.5%. III. Higher results are below the national outcome by 1.3%. IV. Advanced Higher results are above the national outcome by 2.6%. b.

Agree that in session 2020/21 attainment and achievement outcomes will be presented to the Community Services Committee, only following release of Insight data which affords full access to statistical school and national information in relation to attainment and achievement outcomes of the young people of Argyll and Bute.

  • Presentation by Strachur Hub PDF 13 MB
    THE STRACHUR HUB - THE STORY SO FAR strachur A COMMUNITY PROJECT SUPPORTED BY THE INTEGRATED CARE FUND THE STRACHUR HUB WAS THE IDEA OF KATE PATON, THE PRACTICE NURSE OF THE STRACHUR MEDICAL PRACTICE. (SMP) Kate’s objective was to bring something into the community to: • Ensure that older people had the opportunity to live independent lives in their own home for as long as possible • Reduce social isolation • Improve their quality of life • Provide some respite to carers and family members • Improve mobility • Prevent falls. In June 2015 an application for funding was submitted by the SMP’s Patient Participation Group to the Integrated Care Fund of the Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP). In February 2016 we were granted the funding of £12.8kpa. Together with Heather Grier, Ian Asher and a group of very dedicated volunteers, the Hub started on its journey at the beginning of March 2016. SETTING UP • Between the date of our application and granting of the funding we : • Planned how we would implement our ideas. • Received support from TSI in this set up. • During this time we sought to: • Employ a qualified Otago trained instructor • Seek a deputy to be locally trained. • We originally envisaged around 16 people attending each week, based on Kate’s ‘sounding out’ of patients. • A problem however: Transport. People had expressed an interest to come but could not get there. • A solution: We entered into a co-production with Cowal Elderly Befrienders from whom we hire a specially adapted vehicle. WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? As well as Kate’s ‘local’ goals, we seek to have positive impact on some of the criteria laid down by the Scottish Government on improving health and well- being in Scotland.
