Working Towards is a community development project run by Outside the Box. It will support people across Scotland to develop new services that are led by the people who are going to be using the services. This will let people have more choices in the types of services they get, and let them have more choice in their lives. The project is part-funded through the Big Lottery Fund’s Supporting 21st Century Life programme. The main development project will run for 4 years from 2008 to 2012, but the new services that get started and the back-up support will continue beyond that.
