WATIF (Woolfords, Auchengray and Tarbrax Improvement Foundation)

WATIF is a passionate and dedicated locally-based organisation focused on improving the quality of life for residents in the WATIF area. We deliver community development projects that tackle the issues of greatest concern to our community such as poor broadband, lack of services and support for young and older people.  Our 5 year Community Action Plan gives an overview of our current aims and objectives. We work with groups and individuals in the local community as well as many external agencies.
