Creative Aberdeenshire

23/10/2026

Starting this Sunday!!

The Online Bothy is a skills development and networking programme designed to empower individuals and community groups interested in planning and running cultural community activities.

Led by NEAT and experienced cultural development professional Simon Gall (Expressing Scotland) on behalf of Live Life Aberdeenshire, the programme brings people across Aberdeenshire together to learn new skills, share ideas, and build connections.

Over the past year, people in Fyvie, Rothienorman, Tarves and Barthol Chapel have brought their ideas, creativity and enthusiasm to a range of cultural and heritage activities through the Positive Action Grant.

Delivered by North East Arts Touring (NEAT) on behalf of Live Life Aberdeenshire, the programme has supported communities to develop activities that reflect local interests and bring people together. Between December 2025 and March 2026, 55 community events were held, supporting wellbeing and cultural activities close to home.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, volunteered and helped make these projects such a success, and to NEAT for their continued delivery of the programme.
