Projects

Complicated Lives Active

Started 2012 and earlier. We work with people who are changing things, or want to improve things, in their lives and their communities.  Some of the people we work with are living with range of complex issues and difficult experiences that affect their everyday lives and how they live their lives.

Having Different Conversations

Moving Forward Active

Started 2015. Outside the Box is working with Turning Point Scotland, Glasgow Community Justice Authority and other partners in Glasgow to explore how we can create more choice and control in support for people in touch with the criminal justice system.

People Having More Choice in their Lives

Building community-based support with Older People

Started 2014. Outside the Box pulled together over 20 of the main reports that have been published over the past few years to produce a new report about what helps communities to include and support older people.

Creating Inclusive Communities

Getting There

Started 2012 and earlier. A project exploring what self directed support (SDS) means for smaller user-led organisations, bringing together materials and resources, ideas and projects from user led organisations from across Scotland and further afield.

Building Strong Sustainable Organisations

Moving Assistance Project Active

Started 2015. The first stage of the Falkirk Moving Assistance project ran until March 2016. Now we are working on more ideas in a second stage. The idea for the project came from older people who said they would like to move house but didn’t know where to start. We are also working on tips for people who are coming home from hospital- you can find our draft version of these in our Resource section below- please email any feedback or suggestions to ciara@otbds.org.
