Angus LEADER

Merry Christmas from all of us at Angus LEADER! 🎄🎁

Bringing a community together generates a pride in place & a sense of belonging. A strong community #vision leads to community wide ownership. We help provide support for new initiatives that will propel #communities towards that vision. So tell us, what's your Vision for 2021?

What is the true meaning of this month🎄, along with every other month? 🗓️ It's about spending time with #family 👪 and giving back. It's a time to help those in need in our community and performing acts of #kindness,💖no matter how big or how small.🌎🤝

The LEADER Programme is about vision and commitment in our communities. This includes learning about the #environment and promoting #tourism. Enhancing the potential for tourism through #communityprojects has been a key consideration for many communities. #Angus

The principals of community led local development, which have worked so well in Angus, should not be discarded. They should provide the basis for any future funding programme which may become available to empower local communities.

A highlight of #DigitalBuddies already has been older people using their tech skills to support others to learn, access the internet & build confidence. Don't assume the path to a digitally inclusive society is all about younger people sharing tech skills with older people!🙌💻✨
