Organised in Partnership between Social Enterprise Scotland and the Rural Social Enterprise Hub - we are please to offer this community learning exchange to Tarbert Harbour Authority (THA) and Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust (IGHT), two rural organisations with extensive experience in community wealth building.
The exchange will take place over two days, first starting off with a tour of Tarbert Harbour Authority and then heading to Gigha the following day to celebrate Gigha Day and learn more about IGHT. Through the Scottish Community Alliance, we can fund accommodation up to £100 per night as well as travel/subsistence costs up to a certain amount.
Priority will be given to members of Social Enterprise Scotland and the Rural SEN but anyone may sign up. Spaces are limited so we would advise signing up quickly.
