Phase two of the project, funded by P站色情片 and Bute鈥檚 Rural Growth Deal will deliver the worker accommodation. Work will start in 2024.
Tiree Community Care Hub, Tiree, (拢450,000)

Councillor Robin Currie, Leader of P站色情片:
鈥淪upporting repopulation, economic growth and local jobs is key to the long-term economic success for P站色情片 and Bute. Working with our island communities, we know that housing and access to health and social care are key priorities for many island residents.
The Islands Programme funding is a welcome boost to addressing the shortage of accommodation for workers, which has a huge impact on island businesses and the wider economy. Funding also enables residents to stay on the island and have access to urgent healthcare with staff available on site. The funding in addition to ongoing investment by the council and partners will make a huge difference to island life. 鈥
