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 Argyll and Bute Council 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 Argyll 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 Argyll 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.

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

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