Causewayhead Community Council is a voluntary organisation set up by statute by the Local Authority and run by local residents to act on behalf of its area. As the most local tier of elected representation, Community Councils play an important role in local democracy.
Community Councils are made up of people who care about their communities and want to make their area a better place to live. Community Councillors represent local people, voice peoples’ views on important decisions which affect them and work with others to improve services. A range of people must be part of a Community Council so different opinions and ideas are heard. There are over 3000 people living within the Causewayhead boundary.
If you wish to contribute making Causewayhead a better place to live please contact us using the email button below or attend one of our meetings held every two months.
Good afternoon, we have received this communication from Stirling Council to share: I'm getting in touch to let you know that the next term of our free parent and baby music group, Stirling Mini Melodies, begins on Friday 21st August at the Albert Halls. Thanks to funding from the Youth Music Initiative the class is free to attend. As part of our commitment to making the programme as accessible as possible we'd like to ensure that some spaces are available for families who may benefit most including those on low incomes, refugees, and other families experiencing socio-economic disadvantage. We've reserved a number of places specifically for referrals from local community groups and organisations and we'd be very grateful if you could either share this opportunity with families you support or refer anyone you think would enjoy and benefit from the sessions. I've attached a poster that we'd love for you to share along with a few photos from last term to give you an idea of what the sessions are like. It is a very warm and welcoming session with tea, coffee and biscuits provided and socialising after. Parents or carers only need to book one place (children do not require their own booking), and each adult can bring up to two children aged 0–3 years. Families referred through your organisation can access these reserved spaces by using the booking link below or by contacting the Tolbooth and quoting MINI26. Email: tolbooth@stirling.gov.uk Phone: 01786 274000 Booking: https://stirlingevents.org/event/stirling-mini-melodies-524010/ The class was fully booked last term so we're keen to make sure these reserved places are available to families who may otherwise miss out. If you have any questions or would like any further information, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
