CASE STUDY 6
The liveArgyll Community Learning (CL) Team in Kintyre worked in partnership with The Kintyre Link Club, a local mental health club run by members for members, with its main aim being to promote the welfare of those who suffer or have suffered from mental ill health.
Learner evaluations / Feedback
The group participated in the Community Learning and Development (CLD) Community Consultation Exercise, in which Health and Wellbeing came
out as top in their main priorities within the Core Themes. The CL team then carried out further consultations with the group members who came up with the idea of writing and producing a song about the Link Club to promote it to the wider community.
The Link Music Club Project introduced them to writing and producing music with the aim of improving the participants’ general wellbeing, reducing isolation and promoting wellness.
“Music and song craft is about people; before
I had these classes I knew how to write songs but the social contact has made me more skilful, especially working as a team and using collaboration and other people’s ideas. Before I was on my own now I can work with others.”
“Such a great opportunity to learn something
I would never have had before. It was such fun working with others and also having the support of the Link Club, Dawn & Jamie”
“The Link Club Music Project with Jamie and Dawn has been excellent. A lot of fun and great therapy. We would love more music activities. The whole Link Club felt more positive! Thank you!”
