Policy lead for economic growth and communities Alastair Redman said: “Across Argyll and Bute, we have dedicated active communities who help bring people together, look after each other and improve the place where they live.
“Since its launch in 2015, the Supporting Communities Fund continues to help hundreds of groups.
“It often provides a vital lifeline and helps some of the fantastic work happening across our communities .I would encourage all eligible groups to get in touch and apply.”
