Community Empowerment Case Study Research

This document summarises the research findings of a project designed to explore in detail examples of community empowerment practice in Scotland. The research was intended to allow case studies to fully describe their experiences and tell their story of how their community empowerment activity worked, the challenges they faced and their successes. Twelve case studies were visited between December 2008 and March 2009. They were: Gigha Cordale Housing Association Coalfields Community Federation Dundee Regeneration Forums North Ayrshire Estates Based Projects Buchan Development Partnership Orkney Community Councils East Lothian Communicty Councils Community Links The Alness Initiative Dumfries and Galloway Housing Partnership South Ayrshire Placemaking The research involved the production of two reports. A summary of each case study was included in the Government?s Community Empowerment Action Plan (published March 2009 and available below as a Download). A more detailed document about each case study was published in July 2009 and a pdf version of this is also available to download below.
