Next month it could be your group!

Skye & Lochalsh CVO have teamed up with the local paper West Highland Free Press to give our member groups the chance to shout about what you do! Every month the WHFP Life Beat supplement includes a feature on a community group –a great opportunity to tell people about what you do, how you achieve things, what real difference your project or activities or service makes to the local community.

The feature has been running since June 2007 and is proving very popular. Groups featured over the last few months have included SkyeDance, Crossroads Care Skye & Lochalsh, the Skye & Lochalsh Visual Impaired People's Association and the Living Ark Sanctuary.

Next month - it could be your group!
