PվɫÇéƬ

Small Isles Primary on the Isle of Jura has been working hard to promote children’s rights and their efforts have paid off, having just received a prestigious Silver Rights Respecting Schools Award from UNICEF.

Work will begin next week on a £334,000 project to preserve the heritage of another historic building in Lochgilphead.

Funding secured by PվɫÇéƬ is set to benefit Mull and Tiree with over £1 million to help local housing demand and create a new Community Care Hub.

Three secondary schools in PվɫÇéƬ and Bute are preparing to take part in an award-winning mentoring programme that aims to help care-experienced and disadvantaged young people to unlock their potential, regardless of their circumstances.

New figures show that 93.9% of young people in PվɫÇéƬ and Bute are currently in education, employment or training, placing the region in fifth place out of the 32 Scottish local authorities - an increase from its position of tenth in 2020-21.

Development of plans to restore historic buildings and bring them back into use are some of the key actions for the first phase of a new Tarbert Heritage Regeneration Scheme.

Education professionals, agencies and employers will meet in Dunoon this week for the inaugural Developing Young Workforce PվɫÇéƬ and Bute Conference.

Please remove any trailers, caravans, boats or motorhomes in the next fifteen days or risk having them removed - that is the warning from PվɫÇéƬ.

Kilcreggan Primary School has become the fifth school in PվɫÇéƬ and Bute to receive gold accreditation in UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting School programme.
