- We want to hear what would be the best way to promote opportunities to you?
- What would encourage you to be more involved
- What barriers exist in relation to having your say!

Age and health :- Health conditions e.g arthritis. Face to face interaction / communication preferable and assists / encourages feedback. Local appropriate venue/s for a meet up :- Just like we have done this evening at Gourock library. Unfortunately / sadly though local / National and international culture changes :- And our ‘Powers that be’ know about this As they are the first ‘to get to know / be in the know’ / get updated. I wish that we all were taken seriously :- Looked out for / Cared for. “Individualism” ‘Me /Mine’ :- Dangerous, Cruel, Selfish. We need a sense of self (self worth) and community. That takes ‘working together for the good :- Beneficial aspects of life. Knowing our place ( having a purpose, feeling valued and Respected) . As well as our community / ies being valued, etc, seems necessary for our Health and Wellbeing
GP appointments almost impossible to get. A phone call may well not be effective.
Lots of parking issues on Albert Road which are causing safety concerns (Coppermine Your Voice Warm Space 10/02/25) PF
If i need to get to an appointment at Inverclyde Royal Hospital i need to either get 4 buses or 2 taxis which is not cost effective (Coppermine Your Voice Warm Spaces 10/02/25) PF
It would be a good idea to offer bike hire at Gourock Train station like they do in Glasgow (Coppermine Your Voice Warm Spaces 09/02/25) PF
There is a lack of buses in the area which can mean your trapped in your own home there should be more companies that run on the routes in Gourock (Coppermine Your Voice Warm Space 09/02/25) PF
The timings of meetings don't suit and i don't use social media very well a quick summary of what's been discussed would be helpful in a newsletter and given to groups in the local area (Coppermine Your Voice- Warm Spaces 09/02/25) PF

I think the best way to promote opportunities would be through social media and through poster engagement especially in community spaces.

I think there should be a wider range of college courses because right now the courses are all the same and re-runs, i think the courses are declining in terms of quality.

I would be happy to be involved in my community and activities surrounding it. Social media does a good job of promoting this.
I am a part of the LD community and i am fortunate that there is a lot of places to attend.

Online promotion seems to be the most accessible form of communication for me, there would be a higher chance of me seeing it on social media but i understand this is not the same for everyone. Through work I am already quite involved, but further info being available never hurts and I would be willing to get involved with the other opportunities, if made available.
