We’re supporting a wide range of digital participation projects in communities across Scotland. Many of these are benefiting from financial support with our charter fund, or benefited from our challenge fund, whilst others are receiving in-kind support from organisations that have signed our digital participation charter. Each of them has a page on this site to tell their story in their own words.
