Scottish Rural Parliament comes to Perth

The first Scottish Rural Parliament is inviting people in Perth & Kinross to take part in their discussions this month.

Voluntary Action Perthshire is planning two local Rural Parliament events which are open to the public to attend. The first of those events will take place in The Gateway, North Methven Street, Perth on Saturday 6th September between 10.30am and 1.30pm.? The second will be on the following Saturday, 13th September, at the same times in Birnam Arts & Conference Centre, Station Road, Birnam, near Dunkeld.

Bob Gillespie of Voluntary Action Perthshire, the Third Sector Interface in Perth & Kinross, said: ?This is a valuable opportunity for people in Perth & Kinross to find out more about the Scottish Rural Parliament and to contribute their opinions to the discussions that will take place at the very first Scottish Rural Parliament later this year. I urge you to attend the event if you can and help to share the challenges and achievements of our community.?

A representative of Scottish Rural Action, the body funded by the Scottish Government to set up the Scottish Rural parliament, will be in attendance at each meeting.

To book your place at the local Rural Parliament event, complete and return the Booking Form for your chosen event to Bob Gillespie at Bob.Gillespie@pkavs.org.uk or telephone him on 01738 452210.

The very first Scottish Rural Parliament will be taking place later this year in Oban, Argyll & Bute, it has been confirmed. The three day event, from 6th ? 8th November, will bring together 400 decision-makers, organisations and people from rural communities across Scotland.

The Rural Parliament will produce a shared vision for rural Scotland with identified actions to be taken at community, regional, national and EU level, whilst celebrating the strengths and achievements of rural communities.

Unlike most Parliaments, a Rural Parliament is a bottom-up process of discussion and debate which anyone can participate in, rather than people being elected to represent other people?s views. Over the coming months there will be lots of chances to get involved.

Scottish Rural Action, the non-profit body which organises the Scottish Rural Parliament, has a new website which includes an online forum for communities to connect and share views and ideas.

Scottish Rural Action and the Scottish Rural Parliament have been given separate online identities to avoid confusion over their respective roles.

The Scottish Rural Parliament takes place every two years and started in 2014. The national high-profile event brings representatives of rural communities from across Scotland together with decision-makers. The event aims to raise the profile of rural needs and strengths, as well as identifying solutions to the challenges our communities face.

Scottish Rural Action is the legal entity which organises the Scottish Rural Parliament. SRA takes forward priorities voted on at the Rural Parliament and advocates on behalf of rural communities on a wide range of issues. We are the ‘go to’ organisation on rural issues in Scotland.
