What local challenge is this project addressing?
We know from living and working in Dunoon, that our local communication infrastructure is fragmented. Not everyone who lives here has access to information about events, organisations and services. This fragmentation has a negative impact on local people and on the visitor experience.
Social media platforms, owned by remote global organisations, have disrupted how people communicate and who they connect with at a local level. Although unintentional, an over reliance on social media means that people living here or visiting are not always aware of all the great opportunities there are to attend events, buy local or access support.
​
What’s On Dunoon is a community developed solution to this problem.
Used by small businesses, local organisations and public sector stakeholders, the website and information sharing services are rebuilding local information sharing to support Community Wealth Building. What’s On Dunoon is a community owned digital asset for the town.
