We can help you develop ideas, connect with others and work out the best way to take them forward.
If you have an idea that could benefit East Lammermuir, please contact ELCC before putting in an application. You do not need to have everything worked out or to choose a fund before speaking to us.
If you have an idea, especially one that could help deliver the East Lammermuir Local Place Plan, we can help you think it through.
We can help you:
- develop your idea;
- consider how it fits with the Local Place Plan;
- connect with other people, groups or projects doing similar work; and
- help identify the appropriate funding route.
Got an idea? We can help. Email LPP@elcc.scot.
