Scottish Government and Local Authority Concordat
The Scottish Government and Local Authorities in Scotland have signed a 10yr Concordat which outlines Themes and Outcome Indicators Local Authorities have to achieve for the funding they will receive. If you are a community group or voluntary sector organisation that receives funding from Dumfries and Galloway Council you need to ensure your activities fit with the new themes and that you contribute to the indicators. Read through the Concordat and Outcome Indicators here
