Scotland: National Rural NetworkManaged by: Tarbert & Skipness Community Trust
Tarbert has a number of volunteer organisations who have various village community and environment improvements proposals for which funding is being sought. A workshop conducted March 2008 concluded that a coordinated community plan rather than individual project development work might prove a more beneficial approach. The Tarbert &Skipness Trust along with other local groups have developed the initial idea and have now reached the stage where external assistance is required to pull the overall plan together.
The aim of Tarbert Community Plan Phase 1 is to produce a Community Plan which will bring together existing proposals and produce a logical and priority approach which will allow applications to be streamed to the various potential funders.
A consultant will be employed to meet individual organisations and assemble a plan from their existing project proposals. Organisations will be committed to the time input required to achieve this. A public meeting will be convened to present the draft plan and information obtained integrated in the final outcome.Two documents will then be produced-a detailed plan for community groups to use and a less detailed " brochure " to be used for promotional purposes.
