Have your say: Community Wealth Building survey

Highlands & Islands Enterprise (HIE) are carrying out a survey around Community Wealth Building.
HIE have commissioned this research to gain a deeper understanding of how communities across the Highlands and Islands can maximise opportunities through Community Wealth Building (CWB).
CWB is a people-centred approach to economic development, focusing on redirecting wealth back into local areas to benefit those who live there. By understanding your future ambitions and capacity to seize these opportunities, they can better target their support to help you achieve positive outcomes and strengthen place-based development.
Who should take part?
If your group has a social purpose, benefits a geographic community, operates on anon-profit basis, and is controlled by local residents, HIE want to hear from you. For clarity, this includes community councils.
They’re also keen to hear from those who already own community assets like land or infrastructure, as well as those exploring these opportunities – all your insights are invaluable.
Eligibility: Community groups and organisations within the Highlands and Islands Regional Economic Partnership area, including Highland, Moray, Argyll and Bute, Orkney, Shetland, Na h-Eileanan Siar, and parts of North Ayrshire (Arran and the Cumbraes).
The survey is open until the end of September 2024, with results expected to be published early in 2025.
If you are ready to share your voice, you can take part in the survey here.
