Just had an idea. I could start my own listening, support and advice service. Pretty much what I do already but working for myself. Counselling services have waiting lists of many months. From my experience people's main issues just now are money and survival. As well as the usual issues I deal with such as disability issues, abusive relationships etc. GP's do not know what to do to help other than provide anti-depressants or counselling. I've actually spoken to several gp's who do not know how to deal with patients who have social and emotional issues. By the time someone has waited that long for a counselling appointment they are in real despair. I also already help people survive on small incomes but this period of time will get harder for them. For us all! It would be great to get Permaculture involved, we could do with courses up here. There are a few initiatives, growing food as well as food co-ops for cheaper fruit and veg in the West Lothian area but they are not widely known about. http://www.facebook.com/l/4517erEd5oxv5FXIorojA9fRQPQ;www.westlothian.gov.uk/Community-life-and-leisure/534/food/ 
ll I need to start are some nice leaflets. I have my qualifications to back me up. I just need a new printer.
