What is Còmhla?

Còmhla is a two year National Lottery funded project in partnership with An Talla Solais (Ullapool Visual Arts); Ullapool Museum; Ullapool and District Youth Group and Loch Broom Community Trust. Our aims are:

-       To develop joint ways of working and co-production of projects which are commissioned by our community

-       To reach all of our community through involvement with grass roots organisations

-       To better understand and track the varied and inspiring output of our community and support projects that matter to the area

-       To build a connected and supportive network of organisations who can work together to serve the community

How will we do this?

-       The core project team will meet regularly and track the project

-       The lead project partners will attend and chair a bi-monthly Wellness Group which disseminates project initiatives in area of wellness, and shares findings and best practise.  Attendees come from Ullapool’s school; local government; and community groups

-       The key project partners will invite wider involvement from the community and grass roots organisations by inviting them to project meetings and sharing the opportunities with them

-       A skills and resources survey will be carried out by the Còmhla project so that the communities assets can be understood

-       LUCT will refresh their survey into community concerns so that we have up to date information on what matters to the groups we want to engage with
