Following a Community Council consultation during 2010, various aspects of training were identified by Community Councillors in Buchan.  This information was then used to develop a number of free refresher courses, which have since been successfully delivered.  

Now, following the positive feedback received from participants it has been agreed to provide this opportunity to local community groups also. 

Courses designed to take place over one session lasting a few hours at a time, provide information on basic requirements such as:

• The Role of the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer
• Minute Taking
• Letter Writing
• Dealing with the Press
• Ways of working for Community Councils and Community Groups
• Effective Meetings

In order to make these as accessible as possible training can be arranged for either during the day or in the evening and can be tailored to accommodate any specific requirements including delivering to either a group setting or on an individual basis.
