“To be honest I didn't really think counselling would help, but it's helped me a lot. It's like laying everything out in front of me so I can sort it out in my head.”

This is just some of the feedback from children and young people who have accessed the ߣsir��Ƶ and Bute Council’s counselling in schools service.

“Public views have been key in reaching the stage we are now at in bringing multi-million pound investment in education services for Mull. At £43 million the campus is the council’s largest single investment. We are making this in what is one of the most challenging financial periods facing ߣsir��Ƶ and Bute services.
We would like to thank everyone who has got involved in the process and are sharing their thoughts with us on the next steps. With different views from across the island, we are considering all feedback. We also have to consider what is feasible to deliver with the available funding and what will bring the most benefit to our young people and communities, both now and for generations to come.” - Councillor Jim Lynch, Leader of ߣsir��Ƶ and Bute Council.

Tackling the housing emergency in ߣsir��Ƶ and Bute remains a priority for the council and at today’s council meeting, councillors agreed to allocate further funding from the Strategic Housing Fund (SHF) to help address the area’s housing shortage.
