ACT Hubs projects

We have been working with communities to help plan projects that will enhance tourism in the local area, encourage people to explore the great outdoors, and bring benefits to the local economy.

ACT Hubs was part-financed by ACT and part-financed by the Scottish Government and the European Community Argyll and the Islands LEADER 2014-2020 programme. 

Below is a summary of each of the projects we have supported. A general overview of ACT Hubs aims and funding can be found here.
