ESF Plaques
It is a requirement that Permanent plaques should be displayed in buildings where ESF funding has supported a project. Commercial business premises must display a commemorative plaque for at least one year.
To increase public awareness of ESF supported activities and to encourage publicity measures, all projects are required to display an ESF plaque. This requirement applies to projects delivering ESF activity under the direct bidding route or via Co-financing.
Alexander Pollock has been selected by the Scottish ESF Objective 3 Partnership to supply the necessary ESF plaques.
