If you need help over the Christmas period, here is a list of key services that will be open across Scotland: scottishrefugeecounc...
Third Sector Advent!
21. Unlocking the potential of overlooked talents and ideas – who knew that your wee brother was so good at wrapping presents!
22. Driving collaboration between public, private, and community sectors – Yuletide is for everybody!
Advent! 19. Supporting resilience in communities – when it all gets a bit much a wee local litter pick for some fresh air might be the answer.
20. Encouraging lifelong learning – this year remember that after a lifetime of buying your Dad liquorice allsorts that he doesn’t like liquorice.
Advent! 18. Providing creative outlets through arts, culture, and sport – do party games count as sport? I believe they do – charades at the next Olympics, please.
19. Supporting resilience in communities – when it all gets a bit much a wee local litter pick for some fresh air might be the answer.
Third Sector Advent!
16. Protecting the environment and promoting sustainability – recycle all that card!
17. Strengthening local economies by investing locally – well, let’s face it, there’s bound to be that extra spend for that missing box of chocolates on Christmas Eve at a local shop.

12. Helping young people gain confidence - Denny Lads singing! – need I say more!
13. Bringing groups together to reduce division – look, your Big Cousin Bob will come if you just ask him this year.
14. Advocating for fairness – this year you’ll get ‘Mousetrap’ not socks!
TS ADVENT!
10. Trust and collaboration among local partners – you’re the best person to make up that playlist so in the spirit of partnership, do it!
11. Fair employment, and supporting training – now is the time to learn from your Auntie Betty how she does those amazing minced pies!
Third Sector Advent
8. Wellbeing through social support – a good old game of ‘pass the parcel’ – no fighting!
9. Early intervention to prevent crises – be the one who intervenes and remembers to turn down the oven – crisis averted!
Third Sector Advent
6. Encouraging local leadership and empowerment – put your lights up early – Empowered!
7. Committed to heritage - we all have Christmas traditions we inherit – share them!
Third sector Advent - two more! 4. Supporting people who are dealing with hardship, or inequality – if you can help someone by being aware of others needs that’s a ‘Cracker’ of a thing to do.
5. Safe and inclusive spaces for just being yourself – it’s alright to celebrate Christmas your way.
Third Sector Advent! Two more!
2. It’s always about creating opportunities for volunteering and participation – give the present of volunteering.
3. An overall aim is surely getting more local voices into service decision-making – like a Carol Singer – get your voice heard!
