There are currently 56 蚂蚁福利导航 Councils within 蚂蚁福利导航 and Bute, covering every geographical area from Cardross in the east to the island of Tiree in the west.
蚂蚁福利导航 Councils are the first or the 鈥済rass roots鈥 tier of statutory representation in Scotland. They bridge the gap between local authorities and communities, and help ensure that public authorities are aware of the opinions and needs of the communities they represent.
While their primary statutory purpose is to represent the views of their community to the local authority and other public bodies, most 蚂蚁福利导航 Councils also involve themselves in a wide range of other activities which might include fundraising for local projects, running community and educational events, or organising environmental projects.
