Dumfries and Galloway LEADER Programme is delighted to announce the launch of the 2013 search for communities to take part in ‘Day of the Region’; an exciting initiative aimed at rural towns and villages across Dumfries and Galloway.

Crocketford's Day of the Region

• Could your community get involved and benefit from a showcase of the many groups, organisations, individuals and businesses which operate in your area?
• Would your organisations welcome the opportunity to showcase what they do and recruit new members?
• Do you have a skill which you could share in your community?
• Could your community benefit from everyone feeling better connected and more aware of what is available right on their doorstep?

Find out how your community can get involved by getting in touch now – simply contact Derek Hextall, Project Officer with your name, organisation (if applicable), contact number and the community you are suggesting. Email derek.hextall@dumgal.gov.uk or phone 01387 850 228.
