Sutherland communities asked to share impact of Covid on future priorities

Communities are being asked how their priorities may have changed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown.

The Sutherland Community Partnership is reviewing priorities as part of the new Sutherland Adaptive and Collaborative Communities (SACC) project.

The SACC project team is now calling on the support of residents and community organisations across Sutherland to have their say on how Covid-19 has impacted and influenced community priorities.

A spokeswoman for the partnership said: "A lot has changed in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is your opportunity to tell the SACC project team how Covid-19 has affected your priorities for future community projects in Sutherland."

Individuals and community groups are asked to fill in an online survey – available at www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Impact_Recovery

Alternatively paper copies can be issued by contacting Jodie Ross, SACC project officer, on jodie@kyleofsutherland.co.uk or call Jodie on 01863 766190 using Option 1.

The results of the survey will be shared with the Sutherland Community Partnership and will influence the work the SACC project undertakes to support communities to develop projects which support Covid-19 recovery and overcome inequalities faced across Sutherland.

The closing date for the survey has been extended to Friday, October 9.
