Community Regeneration

The Community Regeneration funding is provided by the Scottish Executive through Communities Scotland to Community Planning Partnerships and replaces the Social Inclusion Partnership Fund (1999 – 2005). The funding is one of a number of Government initiatives aimed at Closing the Opportunity Gap and is targeted at the most disadvantaged communities. Highland Council receives and manages the Grant funding on behalf of the Highland Wellbeing Alliance. Three year funding has been announced (2005/06 - £609,000; 2006/07 - £613,000; 2007/08 - £641,000). Use of the funds will be governed by a  Regeneration Outcome Agreement with Communities Scotland identifying how the Partners mainstream and specific funding is being used to meet Closing the Opportunity Gap objectives.
