The Group's remit was:
To advise Scottish Ministers on the development and implementation of the Active Communities strategy in Scotland, by bringing together a range of expertise from across the sectors and by providing a link to related initiatives in Scotland, to action by the UK Working Group, and to activities in Wales and Northern Ireland.
A Note on Language
When this initiative was first launched it was known as the Giving Age, and this working group was called the Scottish Giving Age Working Group. However, the Active Communities Initiative is felt to be a more inclusive and positive term. It is also the term used in the rest of the UK.
