More than £6,000 has been allocated to youth projects on Arran in one of Scotland’s largest ever online participatory budgeting exercises exclusively for young people.
Over the course of a week earlier this month, more than 5,000 young people visited Young Scots online voting platform to decide how £60,762 should be allocated to youth projects across North Ayrshire, with 46 projects receiving funding.
Young people aged 11-25 were asked to rate projects available in their locality in order of preference, with the most popular projects in each area given a share of the funding.
