Welcome to our March newsletter. In this edition we take a special look at community-based projects and how empowered communities are transforming places across Scotland. We know from experience how much better the outcomes are when people are actively involved in shaping their places.
Increasing the emphasis on community empowerment matters because only by working with communities to shape their places, can we create truly sustainable places that nurture a sense of identity.
March also sees the announcement of the Scottish Civic Trusts My Place Awards where dedicated communities are honoured for their hard work - congratulations to the winners and short-listed projects!
We've also been updating details about the work we are doing with the Scottish Government on the Making Places programme. Read more about three of the projects that we have been involved with below.
