Community Empowerment

Celebrating Renfrewshire is a fund designed by and for young people, where young people aged 12 to 25 will have a direct say on which projects are funded in their local area.

Funding for local community groups and volunteers to improve underused or neglected green spaces or enhance the character, identity and heritage of their local community.

Apply for grants to plan and carry out repairs on privately owned historic buildings in one of eleven Renfrewshire villages.

A Community Asset Transfer is where responsibility for an asset or property transfers from the Council to a community group or voluntary organisation.

Common Good property includes any assets or estates like land, buildings, civic regalia, art, cash or securities that are administered by a Scottish Local Authority.

A Local Partnership brings together local elected members, community representatives and organisations to have their say on local issues and make a difference to their local area.

Local communities decide how a portion of our budget is spent; and suggest and choose what projects will make the biggest difference to Renfrewshire.

We are looking for volunteers to deliver a new parenting programme called Empowering Parents Empowering Communities (EPEC) to other parents and carers in your community.

We are looking for volunteers who would be happy to share their views, evaluate council processes, or even trial new council services.
