SCDC is supporting a new collaborative initiative launched today on 15 May 2-13 in Ayr, which is aimed at providing targeted help, support and funding for rural areas across the three Ayrshire areas.

Ayrshire 21 will work with 21 local communities which have been least able to take advantage of development and funding opportunities in the past.

The new initiative is the result of collaborative working between the three Ayrshire Councils, securing funding from the European LEADER project to create Ayrshire 21.
