Their Past Your Future Scotland
Bridge of Weir Home Guard
Woodside First Aid Post
Renfrewshire Arts and Museums Service has been awarded Big Lottery funding of £12,800 to continue the work of a major World War II local history initiative.
The project will bring together young people and older generations in communities across Scotland capturing oral histories focussing on World War II and subsequent conflicts.
We are delighted that through this project the community, and in particular young people will be able to discover and reflect upon aspects of the area's history and heritage which have often gone overlooked.

Performances for schools and nurseries
Each season we ensure that suitable theatre performances are programmed and made available to children attending schools and nurseries in Renfrewshire.
The programme is made possible by support from the Renfrewshire Arts and Museums Service and the Scottish Arts Council's Cultural Coordinators in Schools programme, meaning that performances can be offered to local schools and nurseries completely free.
It is extremely important that we give children a positive experience of the performing arts at a young age.
These performances can stimulate, entertain, enrich and inspire young people in a way which not only supports their learning and development but also hopefully leaves them with an enthusiasm for participating in other cultural and creative activities.
