Around 60 local community groups, organisations, local businesses and services in Perth and Kinross will be coming together next month for a special event to celebrate and highlight the important role they have in enhancing the quality of life for people in Kinross-shire.

The Better Place To Live Fair 2018 at Loch Leven Community Campus in Kinross will be held from 10am-2pm on Saturday, June 9. Organised by the Kinross-shire Community Learning and Development Group, the fair will offer a fun day of activities for all the family and the opportunity for residents of Perth and Kinross to find out what Kinross-shire has to offer.

Alongside the diverse range of groups and organisations showcasing the work they do there is a host of activities you can take part in.

The Scots Guards will have a fantastic assault course, fitness rowing machines and iconic vehicles. Scottish Fire Service Fire Engine will be attending and the Scottish Women’s Institute is offering speed crafting. KYTHE has organised a music workshop and Aero Space Kinross Planetarium and lots more to see and take part in.

There will be an opportunity for local residents to join in the launch of the new Volunteer Information Point (VIP), which will be situated in the library. Residents will be able to find out about volunteering opportunities in the area, while community groups showcase what they do and the difference they make locally.

For children, there will be all kinds of activities from games, a treasure hunt, face painting, arts and crafts, storytelling, and rhyme time.

Everyone is welcome to come along to support local groups, organisations, services and businesses, have fun and take part in a range of activities.
