Scottish Rural Communities Policy Review - Introductory Workshops
Are you involved in community development in the Outer Hebrides, Moray, Highland, the Scottish Borders, Orkney and/or West Lothian and interested in helping shape a review of the Scottish Government’s rural community interventions?
As part of this review we are carrying out research in rural and island places across Scotland to understand how effective the programmes have been for communities to date and to identify opportunities for further development.
This part of the research will be carried out UHI Perth, Impact Hub Inverness & Science Ceilidh, and will currently focus on the places of Moray, Scottish Borders, Highland, Western Isles, Orkney and West Lothian.
If you live or work in one of these areas, come along to an online workshop to:
- Find out about the review process and how you can get involved
- Share your thoughts about which places we focus on
- Help inform how we do the research in each local area
If you are based in other parts of rural Scotland, you can find out other ways you can be involved here.
