The power of Community to create health is far greater than any doctor, clinic or hospital.
Mark Hyman MD
Connecting Communities: start with what matters, build on what’s strong, join the dots.
I help communities, charities, funders and local authorities listen to what matters, recognise the people, skills and resources already around them, join the dots to make things happen, and prove the difference they make. Inclusion runs through everything I do.
Connecting Communities works as a catalyst for change, collaborating with people, communities and organisations who are seeking an innovative approach to their work. Cirsty has the unique ability to ‘join the dots’, providing strategic direction and leadership, bringing together people, organisations and projects to craft tailored solutions aligned with the needs of the local people, community and organisations that she is working with.
Cirsty is a community builder, Chartered Physiotherapist, Chartered Manager and charity founder, trained in asset-based community development and outcomes-based accountability. She leverages her extensive local network, clinical expertise, leadership experience, creativity, and passion to build relationships, pathways, and services based upon best practice, sound Governance and most importantly the strengths and ‘lived experience’ of people.
I am passionate about ensuring that islanders, especially those that may otherwise be marginalised, are supported and empowered to access services which enable them to have good health and wellbeing.
I enjoy tackling complex issues faced by changemakers by bringing people together to develop fresh approaches, based upon principles of good governance to advance understanding of what works.
I’ll collaborate with you to empower and foster the conditions, services, and values necessary for people to feel connected, supported, and lead meaningful lives, irrespective of their social circumstances or health.
