Ian Monteague - FARE Scotland

People should please vote for Ian because, community is what he is about, addressing needs of those in perceived, deprived and disadvantaged communities, who often don’t voice their concerns. Ian has time for everyone, always willing to provide advice with a smile. His commitment, determination and positive outlook on life breathes a freshness that can sometimes be missing from socially deprived communities. Ian was raised in Easterhouse and has given over 50 years voluntary service with several charities, tackling inequalities and not afraid to raise questions others wouldn’t dare ask! Please vote for Ian Monteague, thank you.
