HELP Ltd

The HELP Community Task Force has been busy helping to keep the local community connected by putting up a new information board at the Top Shop in Dunoon.

The board will provide a handy place for local groups and organisations to advertise what's on in Dunoon including community events, activities and useful information.

It’s another small but worthwhile project for the Task Force, giving our young people practical work experience while helping to support and promote the wider Dunoon community.

Today is National Employability day - This just one of the amazing programmes we deliver here at HELP, in partnership with Inspiralba

10 September: Nooks & Crannies, Mapping linear features

Clearing the ground around the old gravestones at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church is about much more than simply tidying an area. It helps preserve and respect an important part of Dunoon’s history, allowing these memorials and the stories of those who came before us to be seen and appreciated once again.
