AIMS & OBJECTIVES

Aims

The aim of the Scottish Islands Network is to promote, publicise and advance the interests of Scotland's islands.

Objectives

Our main objectives are:

develop a broad and inclusive membership from all Scottish Islands

ensure community and voluntary groups have a voice and are well represented within the federation

work with councils, agencies and the Scottish Executive to ensure that island needs are well understood

represent the interests of all Scottish islands at regional, national and European levels

share good practices and facilitate information exchange amongst Scottish islanders

encourage networking on and between islands throughout Scotland and Europe

acquire, disseminate and utilise knowledge resources for islanders through the Internet

Below are images taken from a 'Powerpoint' presentation given by our current 'Chairperson' Ian Gillies at the 2006 Conference held in Islay. It gives a background to the objectives of the 'Federation'. Clearly, as the organisation develops and adapts to the changes of 'political climate' and developments in both Scotland and in Europe, these may change.
