Annual workshop

Last edited: Oct 19, 2022, 3:31 PM

Since 2010 the NNSS has organised an annual Workshop for Local Action Groups (LAGs). This Workshop brings together LAG volunteers and staff from across GB to exchange best practice and discuss common issues. It also provides an opportunity for the NNSS, and other invited speakers, to update LAGs on national level initiatives that may be of interest, relevant changes in legislation and provides a forum for LAGs to communicate directly with higher-level decision makers.
