Drop-in sessions

Take note if you are planning to hold a festive event this year.

People can apply to Renfrewshire Council’s new Festive Events Fund.

The fund provides community groups with extra cash to support bashes.

The local authority is holding a series of drop-in sessions this month.

The sessions will take place at 5a High Street, Paisley, on Wednesday, August 7, from 2pm to 4pm and 6pm to 8pm.

Also Renfrew Town Hall on Thursday, August 8, from 2pm to 4pm and from 6pm to 8pm.

People can sign up for a slot at one of the drop-in sessions at http://www.renfrewshire. gov.uk
