These sessions are drop-in events at a local level across the Kelvin Valley & Falkirk area and LEADER will be joined by local funders at each event.

Attendees will be able to discuss project ideas with LEADER staff and LAG members and also with the other funding organisations. They will also be able to find out information on how to apply and our forthcoming deadlines.

The dates and venues for the drop-in sessions are:

The new West Lothian LEADER programme will officially launch on 17 March at SRUC Oatridge College Campus.

West Lothian LEADER launch

West Lothian has been awarded £2.17 million for community led local development in rural West Lothian.

Administered under the Scottish Rural Development Programme Leader is a European grant scheme that supports innovative and original projects that are driven and run by local communities, businesses and organisations. It also focuses on co-operation between groups both local and national and even cross Europe.

A service which allows deaf people across Scotland to contact public sector services using sign language is being expanded into the voluntary sector.

The online British Sign Language (BSL) interpreting service contactSCOTLAND is funded by the Scottish Government. As the service celebrates its first birthday it has been announced that it is being extended to community groups, voluntary organisations, charities, social enterprises, cooperatives and individual volunteers.
