A distributive Network for South West Edinburgh - trusted community partners working together.

Working across local neighbourhoods in South West Edinburgh  Go Beyond is a network of trusted local voluntary sector  partners. We’ve already got a great record of working together but the demand Covid-19 has placed on our services  has changed overnight so our response must also change. 

We must: have more robust communication channels, pool and share resources to avoid duplication and share expertise so we can offer the strongest, most efficient, resilient services as possible. 

 Our purpose is to increase the capacity within our community organisations so that we stay resilient and strong in times of crisis. We want to  continuously improve and grow in an authentic manner, with no tricks, stunts or game-playing. 

We will talk, listen, grow and learn together. We will organise and collectively pull in the same direction, guided by a vision and set of values that puts people first and creates communities that are great places to live and work. 

Distributive organisations are simple and transparent organisations. They are easy for outsiders to get in and insiders to get out. 

Distributive organisations don’t work harder or longer than other organisations, they work differently. They engage in conversations with people beyond their walls — lots of conversations — to build relationships that spread their work through the network. Incorporating relationship building as a core responsibility of all involved.
