About Us

liveArgyll is a charitable company (SC047545) established by Argyll and Bute Council as an Arm’s Length External Organisation (ALEO). Since beginning operations in October 2017, our sole focus has been on improving the health, wellbeing, and opportunities of communities across Argyll and Bute. Governed by our Articles of Association and supported by a committed board, we deliver a wide range of services for residents and visitors alike.

Our services span libraries, leisure facilities, active schools and sports development, community centres and halls, community learning, museum and archive services. We work to ensure everything we provide is accessible, welcoming and rooted in the needs of our diverse communities.

These vital services are funded through a blend of income we generate, such as leisure memberships, admissions, lets, and hires, and financial support from Argyll and Bute Council. We understand that times can be challenging, so we’re committed to keeping our services running while working diligently to keep costs as low as possible. We’re proud that our leisure membership remains among the most affordable in the country and that many of our opportunities are free to access.

You’ll meet members of our team throughout community life – popping into a library or leisure centre, hiring a hall, joining a local event, taking part in school sport, or engaging in youth or adult learning. Wherever you encounter us, our goal is simple: to help everyone across Argyll and Bute live well, learn more and feel connected.
