We believe that local communities are best placed to create positive change in their cities, towns and villages.
When Local Recovery was established, the Covid-19 pandemic had caused unprecedented disruption to jobs, schools, our NHS, the economy and so much more. Many communities were hit hard – and, as they reflected on rebuilding and regenerating, it was clear how vital local voices were in that discussion.
Local Recovery is an independent, non-partisan campaigning that works to give Scotland’s communities a louder voice. We advocate for government at all levels to recognise and acknowledge local priorities in policymaking –and to put real power into the hands of local people.
At the heart of Local Recovery is a belief that harnessing the power of communities is vital to progress. That government should be about breaking down barriers to community action and supporting local innovation.
We also work to help signpost high-quality local projects and valuable community groups to support and funding from government and other sources.
