Community Transport

Transport has been raised as an issue in every community we have met throughout our Rural Wisdom journey. We have met with community transport organisations throughout Scotland and Wales, exploring the challenges and solutions. We’ve come across brilliant projects, like Pembrokeshire Association of Community Transport Organisations (PACTO), who are developing new, innovative transport solutions. This short video shares some of our transport highlights.

Climate Change

Rural Communities across Scotland, Wales and beyond are leading the way in tackling the climate crisis. This video highlights the approach taken by local people and community organisations in Moray, supported by Rural Wisdom.

Social Action

Rural Wisdom supports people to get involved in improving their communities for themselves and others. We took time to listen to local people and understand the challenges and strengths of each community. We were able to bring people together to have different types of conversations by taking different approaches. From tea and cakes to national policies – this clip shares come of the ways we supported local people to use their voice and take action.

Social Care

Rural wisdom encourages people to share ideas and encourage each other. Whether it’s virtual events or in-person, there’s been no end of idea-swapping. This video details the different ways that we’ve worked on reducing the challenges of getting support for older people. 

Connecting Men

This video is about the work that Rural Wisdom has been doing to ensure better support and activities for older men. It details a Rural Wisdom event aimed at connecting men with presentations from men2men in south Wales and the mobile Men’s shed in South Lanarkshire and highlights the ways that community support changed during the pandemic.
