A busy time in the Highlands for Iain Roxburgh who worked with a second group in Arbiachan working to maintain and develop the village hall in a more sustainable way. The local commitee are trying to reduce revenue running cost and provide better facilities to encourage greater use of the hall. The session provided a backdrop to discuss energy efficiency measures and greener heating systems.

Sus it Out Plus™ hit the streets of Glasgow in late November with a session with with the Heart for Scotstoun Trust.  Facilitator Sandra Renicks worked with a number of the trustees and their community engagement worker to highlight key areas for improvement. The trust itself began in 1997 as a campaign, leading to formal recognition as a charity in 2004, to improve community facilities. The group explored new development ideas including biofuels, childcare facilities and community led recycling initiatives.
