Help us find the West Linton Village Nursery a new home

You Can Help

A big thank you to everyone who has already taken action in support of the nursery by writing to our elected representatives in Scottish Borders Council and in the Scottish Government.

Thanks to Steve Douglas for linking to us from www.west-linton.org.uk and including us in the West Linton forums

Please contact us if you can help with the following at this stage:

  • Free legal advice on alternative operating models (either for the nursery itself or for a community organisation that might take responsibility for building premises to lease to the nursery):
    • What’s involved in setting up these various different structures (e.g. charity / social enterprise / development trust)
    • What are pros / cons / limitations of each?
  • Funding advice –
    • Beyond Business Gateway, where else might we access funding for a privately-owned business?
    • What funding / fundraising options exist for other operating models (such as those outlined above)?
    • How are these accessed?
    • How long does this usually take?
