The best impact can be made if we work together to achieve common goals. We are always looking to work in partnership with other groups and agencies to increase our impact, share resources and to avoid duplication. We have a range of resources and information available to borrow or hire. We are funded by the Big Lottery Fund, NHS Highland and Argyll & Bute Council.
