Published: 8th June 2023

The Cheviot Area Partnership is keen to hear from residents who would like to become members of a community led panel, responsible for assessing applications to the Cheviot Neighbourhood Support Fund

The aim is to ensure that the panel represents the broad, diverse locality of Cheviot so applications are welcomed from anyone who is interested.

Applicants should be aged 16 and over, live in Cheviot (Jedburgh, Kelso and surrounding area) and have an interest in community activity. Relevant training will be provided.

The closing date for applications is 30 June 2023

More information and an online application form is available online

Enquiries can be made to our Communities and Partnership team at: communitygrants@scotborders.gov.uk.

Councillor Caroline Cochrane,  Executive Member for Community Engagement

“This opportunity is an exciting and important way for local residents to be involved in the Cheviot Community Fund and have their say in what projects and initiatives would best support their local area.

“Applications for these roles are welcomed from across the community. I would encourage people to look at what the Panel needs and respond as soon as they can.”
