Last month\u00a0C\u00f9ram Thiriodh<\/a>\u00a0received \u00a324,000 (over the period of three years) from the Windfall Fund, to go towards the running of The Resource Club on the island, which has a total project cost of \u00a379,500.<\/p>\n

The Resource Club has been running successfully on Tiree for years and back in 2012, after various fundraising efforts they secured funding to buy a mini bus and employ an outreach worker. This funding has now come to an end, however this Windfall Grant, which will be paid out over the period of three years will allow The Resource Club to continue with day to day\u00a0activities.<\/p>\n

Margaret Worsely is employed as the Outreach Worker and does a tremendous job of reducing the isolation of the elderly and\u00a0vulnerable\u00a0on Tiree by\u00a0\u00a0creating opportunities for social interaction, such as\u00a0Lunch Club which provides a meal aswell as crafts and\u00a0activities. The mini bus is also used to transport clients to and from local events, medical appointments, shopping trips,\u00a0library\u00a0visits and much more.<\/p>\n

‘By receiving the funding from the windfall fund it means that the Resource Club can continue to provide a service for Tiree’s elderly, the service has become a lifeline for many of our elderly, it means that I can continue to do a job that I enjoy.’ \u00a0<\/em>Margaret Worsley,\u00a0Outreach Worker<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Resource Club now comes under the umbrella of\u00a0C<\/a>\u00f9<\/a>ram Thiriodh\u00a0which has been set up to investigate and work on an\u00a0integrated\u00a0progressive care\u00a0service for Tiree and Coll.C\u00f9ram\u00a0along with The Resource Club has\u00a0been coordinating the fundraising efforts and have been successful in receiving funding from various other sources along with fundraising efforts from monthly Resource Club events such as bingo and whist drives. See what’s on calendar opposite for upcoming events.<\/p>\n

\u2018C\u00f9ram\u2019s earlier funding applications had been rejected by larger UK-wide funders. This marvellous Windfall commitment has now opened doors to other funders who have granted C\u00f9ram and the Resource Club enough funding to continue this fantastic service. Without the Windfall fund we would not have received these additional vital grants\u2019\u00a0<\/em>Jackie Jones,\u00a0C\u00f9ram Director and Secretary<\/strong><\/p>\n
