Participatory Budgeting 2020: www.pbscotland.scot/2020

During 2020 we want share news about the amazing participatory budgeting (PB) that’s happening near you.

Participatory budgeting made great strides in 2019, with loads of events and activity taking place across Scotland's communities.

As we build on that success, we want to hear about the the PB activity that's coming up throughout the rest of the year - whether you're involved in running an event, or just hoping to attend.

We've already been attending PB events and we'll be sharing what's happening with the more than one thousand members of the PB Scotland Network and on Twitter using @PB_Scotland.

You can let us know quickly in the form on this page or you can get in touch.
