More than 3,500 opportunities were created for children, young people and local groups to take part in events last year organised by Renfrewshire Council.
Communities and children throughout Renfrewshire were given hundreds of opportunities to participate in the council’s annual events programme in 2023, delivering a wide range of benefits to those who took part.
The benefits captured in the report range from creating opportunities for people to gain valuable training and develop skills through working with cultural and artistic professionals, helping people connect and improve their wellbeing by joining in activities, co-designing events, volunteering roles and removing barriers to participation.
