INVERCLYDE Council has been given a £35,000 grant from Creative Scotland.

The local authority has received a five-figure share of Culture Collective legacy funding from the national arts body. 

A council report states: "Each Culture Collective partner will receive a proportionate share of these funds to deliver an arts-based project that builds on the wider successes of Culture Collective, as described in our comprehensive evaluation report.

"This funding will also support delivery of a refreshed Arts and Creativity Action Plan for Inverclyde, which will further capitalise on the foundation of innovative and creative arts practice established by Culture Collective partners."
