The First Minister has announced the implementation of a £10 million Islands Resilience Fund.

The Scottish Government is therefore inviting businesses and community organisations to join for an online engagement session to share their experience on how ferry-related disruption is affecting island businesses. These insights will inform the team’s ongoing analysis and development.

The dates of the four sessions are:

Thursday 16 July, 14:00- 15:00
Tuesday 21 July, 15:00 – 16:00
Wednesday 22 July, 09:30 – 10:30
Tuesday 28 July, 10:00 – 11:00
