ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We are indebted to those individuals and groups who have given their time and thoughts to enable an evidence-base to be built on the condition, management and potential of rural community buildings in Scotland.
In particular, as a project team, we would like to thank:
- those who helped with the survey pilot;
- those who took the time and effort to respond to the main survey;
- the management committees who agreed for their community facility to be used as a case-study in this research and to all case-study participants who took part either individually, attended meetings and sent on documentation after the visit; and
- those who agreed to be interviewed from a range of funding and advice organisations across Scotland.
This research would not have been possible without your contributions and honesty, as well as your wide-ranging suggestions.
Our sincere thanks.
