We had a great afternoon at the Participatory Budgeting day yesterday. Met lots of people, thanks to all who voted for us. Good luck to all our new friends!

Please go along to one or more of the events, learn about all the bids, and lend us your vote if you can. Every vote counts! Thank you!

East Ayrshire Participatory Budgeting takes place this week throughout our area. Lots of local groups have put in bids for a share of the funding, and hopefully several will be successful. EACHa has put in bids for two of our projects, Community Friends and Friendly Fresh Start.
