Your Voice, Your Choice Lochaber 2016 - Still time to get your applications in for a share of £30,000

5pm on Friday 2nd September is the deadline for applications to this year’s Lochaber participatory budgeting funding opportunity which will see £30,000 distributed to local groups, clubs, organisation’s and projects that improve the quality of life for people living in the area. 

It’s the people of Lochaber that will decide who gets the money as applications will be put to a public on-line vote between the 12th and 18th September. There will also be the option to vote through libraries in Fort William, Kinlochleven, Mallaig and Strontian and through the post.  

Whether you are involved in a club that needs a bit of extra cash to do something new, have an interesting idea you want to get off the ground or are struggling to raise funds to keep a vital service going, this could be a great chance to get a share of the money. 

The application process is short and simple and also gives groups and organisation’s a chance to promote their group or service. There’s lots of money to give away so don’t miss your chance apply today!

Application forms and guidance are available from Highland Council Service Points in the Lochaber area, Libraries, Lochaber Secondary Schools, the Leven Centre - Kinlochleven, Lochaber Leisure Centre and Voluntary Action Lochaber (An Drochaid, Claggan) or you can download the application form and guidance at
