Welcome to Community Voices Programme Website.
The Community Voices Programme is a Communities Scotland initiative, which aims to ensure the representatives, residents and volunteers in Regeneration Outcome Agreement (ROA) areas have the opportunity to influence services and regeneration activity in their locality. The Communities Voices Project in Midlothian has expanded and now covers all areas of Midlothian.
The Community Voices Programme supports a variety of community groups and organisations, and looks to support individuals to become more involved in their community.
It also provides training events and workshops to help representatives and residents build up their knowledge and confidence to participate in regeneration activities.
There are 3 ROA areas in Midlothian, these are Dalkeith/ Woodburn, Mayfield/ Easthouses and Gorebridge. To find out more about these communities, just click on the links to the right of this page.
