Community Land Scotland – Aberdeenshire Regional Gathering

This two day gathering hosted by Community Land Scotland will inspire and support community groups create opportunities that reach far beyond land and buildings.

Date and time: to

Location: Huntly, Aberdeenshire

Organisation: Community Land Scotland

Community-owned land and buildings and community-led projects build lasting local wealth. They create jobs, support local businesses and keep income in the community.

This year, Community Land Scotland Regional Gatherings will explore how the strength built in their projects can lead to stronger, more connected communities.

Over the course of two days, delegates will take part in two study visits, a shared dinner and a workshop. You’ll explore what makes community ownership work well and what helps projects thrive in the long term. You’ll also look at what it takes to build a strong foundation for community ownership, and how that strength can be translated into lasting benefits for the wider community.

You will also explore how to tell your story. How can community landowners share the story of their work and impact with their community, partners and funders? And, on a larger scale, how do we tell the story of what community landowners are achieving in Scotland?

Expect practical examples, open conversations, peer learning and plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. Community Land Scotland welcome participants from communities at all stages of their community ownership journey.
