Our Approach to Community Empowerment

North Ayrshire CPP is proud of its history of working closely with its communities and of how it has subsequently embraced the principles of the Community Empowerment Act. This Report on North Ayrshire’s approach to community empowerment provides a summary of recent developments which demonstrate this commitment and also includes the required Community Asset Transfer and Participation Requests annual reports to Scottish Government.

Help with Funding

If you are a local individual or group that wants to make a difference in your area and you are seeking funding to help you do this look out for our Participatory Budgeting events coming to your Locality.

North Ayrshire TSI can also help.

Alternative funding ideas can be found at North Ayrshire Council’s Community Funding page.

Participation Requests

The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 includes a number of rights to allow communities to have a greater say in the design, operation and delivery of local public services.

Examples of the new rights given to communities include a right to be involved in Participation Requests and Community Asset Transfers. In achieving the spirit of the Act, we established 6 Locality Planning Partnerships which have an equal representation of Councillors to Community representatives, and peoples “participation by experience” is a really important element of Locality Planning.

Participation Requests are designed to complement and improve our range of participation processes rather than replace them. You can find out more about the process below:

Community Asset Transfer

Community Asset Transfer involves the transfer of responsibility for an asset from the council to any suitably qualified community, voluntary or social enterprise group. You can find a list of assets here: North Ayrshire Community Asset Register     For more information, please visit the North Ayrshire Community Asset Transfer webpage.
