Communities across the Highlands face a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. These will not be solved by traditional approaches to economic development which are based on the presumption that as the economy grows, wealth is generated for all.
Community Wealth Building provides an alternative approach and a practical response that aims to keep wealth within a local area. It is often described as a people centred approach to economic development and aims to ensure every area and community can participate in, and benefit from, economic activity.
