Ballater and Upper Deeside Learning Partnership Online Survey
The Ballater and Upper Deeside Learning Partnership came together as a result of the Ballater One Voice Our Future Action Plan. It is made up of community representatives and adult learning providers who cover the area.
They would like to know what kind of adult learning opportunities people would like to see in Ballater and Upper Deeside. They are emphasing that it might not be possible to meet all demands (especially if numbers are small) but the partnership group will make every effort to follow up what people are asking for.

The funding will enable a project team to identify the training needs required for and the simplification of the Public Entertainment Licence (PEL), which has relevance to many agencies, service departments within the Council and community groups across the area of Aberdeenshire.
The project sets out to assess how agencies and the public sector can ensure a simple, accessible and transparent route is in place to enable communities to monitor and demonstrate the use of best practice in their management of events and projects.
Please view the presentation for further information.
