UOR– Damp and mould in flats: Aberdeen

They will also be explaining Awaab’s Law, and the new obligations landlords need to be aware of. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with the Education and Training Officer.
Part of the New Futures: Former Places of Worship workshop series. In response to the number of churches across Scotland due for disposal in the coming years, many communities have been left wondering what they can do to keep these buildings at the centre of community life. This workshop gives an overview of the first steps to take, and the information needed to help communities make an informed decision. From getting started, to understanding the processes of the Church of Scotland, to building a fuller picture of the support that’s available, hear about key information and examples of how communities have done it before.
