HoW is life on Hoy & Walls?
|
We are local community members who are on the Board of the Island of Hoy Development Trust (IOHDT) which was registered as a charity in 2007 with the aim of developing the economic, social and cultural sustainability of our community.
In 2011 IOHDT undertook a community survey in which it sought out the priorities for Hoy and Walls for the next few years. We want to know if these things are still important to you, and what else you think about life on Hoy & Walls.
We know that since the last survey there has been significant change within the area, new people moving in and a number of our young folk staying and making their life here. In addition, the community now has its own bus service, the YM has been improved, the community turbine is operating well, with various groups and individuals in the community benefiting from the grants available from the output of this.
Having delivered on a number of ambitions from the 2011 survey, we want to work with the community and other community organisations to develop a local action plan by asking you what you would like to happen in Hoy and Walls now, and going forward in order to sustain the community. There are, of course, some things that are not within our remit to provide, but we can influence and campaign on such issues if they are important to local people, and we want to hear your ideas for the community.
Please help us by answering the questions below and we would love to hear from as many people as possible across all age ranges.
All information collected will be held in confidence by IOHDT and no identifying details will be used in any reporting or feedback. The 'about you' data is separate from your main responses so that you know your answers are completely anonymous.
If more than one person in your household would like to complete the survey, please encourage them to do so, by:
- If using paper copies, calling the office to get a copy emailed or posted.
- If online, refresh the Surveymonkey page and input another response.
- If you would like some help to complete the survey please contact the office.
There are copies of the survey in the following places - please encourage anyone you know who is not online, to complete a paper copy:
