Dunoon has a brilliant selection of charity shops that contribute to the development of a more circular economy at a local level. However, a trip to Bogleha Recycling centre highlights the many missed opportunities for more items to be diverted from landfill and reused locally. There are some fantastic examples across Scotland of reuse centres co-located at amenity sites as a result of partnerships between local authorities and the third sector. These operations create green jobs and training opportunities alongside the provision of affordable goods for their community. The current amenities site at Bogleha’ does not have space to allow for expansion. 

Dunoon Foodbank is a small local charity providing food, meals and services, including pre-loved school uniform distribution, to some of Dunoon and Kirn’s most vulnerable people. The space is also being utilised for a youth club one night a week, a project established through Planet Youth that directly responds to local needs. 

To cultivate resilient communities, which enable the land and all living beings to thrive.

Times Square, one of the busiest tourist destinations in the world, faces significant waste management challenges due to its high foot traffic, fast food consumption, and entertainment industry. Overflowing trash bins, excessive single-use plastics, and improper recycling are common issues. The area's bright lights and bustling streets attract millions of visitors daily, contributing to a constant cycle of waste buildup. Despite the presence of trash cans and recycling bins, improper disposal and littering remain a major concern. Addressing these challenges requires improved recycling infrastructure, increased public awareness, and stricter enforcement of waste regulations to keep Times Square clean and sustainable.

The aim of the Victoria Coolkit is to help local residents better understand and improve the value of green spaces in the city, to provide a new way of understanding the climate crisis at the neighbourhood level, and to bridge individual ideas to neighbourhood-wide actions. The project developed tools and guides to gradually ramp up community engagement through conversations, maps, visioning and action.**Note: the Victoria Coolkit cohort covers the downtown Victoria area, with other Coolkit cohorts running in Vic West, James Bay and South Jubilee
