NAIRN AND NAIRNSHIRE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP (NNCP)

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
As a Partnership we are continually seeking the views and opinions from the community and partners. We would actively encourage individuals, community groups and partners to be involved in developing and shaping Nairn and Nairnshire through engagement with the Nairn and Nairnshire Community Partnership.

Understanding the existing and potential strengths of a place can ensure that resources are targeted to where they are required.
