Description

HDCC (Halbeath and Duloch Community Council) is looking for local residents in the Halbeath and Duloch parts of
Dunfermline, from all backgrounds, to get involved with the Community Council and make a difference to their local
area. Community Councils are comprised of people who care about their community and want to make it a better
place to live.
They are keen to attract new members who would be willing to attend their monthly meetings (on the first Monday
evening of each month) and enable them to be more active in the community.
They are specifically looking for a new Treasurer to manage their finances. Someone with a financial background (or
aspiring to a career in finance) would be ideal but no particular experience is required, and training can be provided.

Organisation aims and objectives

A Community Council is a voluntary organisation set up by statute by the Local Authority and run by local residents to act on behalf of its area. Community Councils are comprised of people who care about their community and want to make it a better place to live. As well as representing the Halbeath and Duloch community to the local authority, we aim to facilitate a wide range of activities which promote the well-being of our community. We bring local people together to help make things happen, and to protect and promote the identity of our community. We advise, petition, influence and advocate numerous causes and cases of concern on behalf of the local community.
