South Ayrshire 1000 - Citezens’ Panel
South Ayrshire Council with its partners in the public and voluntary sectors, wants to survey attitudes and views on public services and policy issues.
Citizens’ Panels are a way for local people to provide feedback on a range of issues and influence decision makers. The South Ayrshire Citizens’ Panel is called “South Ayrshire 1000” as it is the intention to have 1,000 members on the Panel. We have managed to recruit around 850 people who live in South Ayrshire who volunteered to http://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/sa1000
The Scottish Government has recently set up a national website highlighting the role of community councils.

Tea at 3
Our fantastic Forehill Library girls, Shona and Eilidh organised an afternoon “Tea at 3” event in the library in June and FHMCC were happy to present them with a cheque to help swell the fund.Shona said “Just to let you know that the total raised at our Tea at 3 event on Monday was an amazing £338.92! Everyone is absolutely delighted with this amount - and am sure the Ayrshire Hospice will be too!
Many thanks for your donation and of course all your help and support.”
