The Teviot and Liddesdale Area Partnership is keen to hear from residents who would like to become members of a community led assessment panel for the Teviot and Liddesdale Community Fund Pot B.
The opportunity has become available as a result of a working group of local residents who proposed an amended process for the Teviot and Liddesdale Community Fund whereby assessment of applications and recommendations would be made by a panel made up of members of the local community.
The aim is to ensure that the panel represents the broad and diverse locality of Teviot and Liddesdale so applications are welcomed from anyone who is interested.
Application process
- applicants should be aged 16 and over, live in the Teviot and Liddesdale locality and have an interest in community activity
- relevant training will be provided
- the closing date for applications is 6 October 2021
- more information and an online application form is available on our website
- enquiries can be made to our Communities and Partnership online or by phoning 0300 100 1800
Councillor Robin Tatler, Executive Member for Community Development and Localities
“This opportunity is an exciting and important way for local residents to be involved in the Teviot and Liddesdale Community Fund and have their say in what projects and initiatives would best support their local area.
“Applications for these roles are welcomed from across the community. I would encourage people to look at what the Panel needs and respond as soon as they can.”
