Sutherland Community Engagement

Sutherland Community Engagement Project

In 2017 Kyle of Sutherland Development Trust launched a Community Engagement Project covering all of Sutherland.

Funded by the Scottish Government’s Aspiring Communities Fund, the Community Engagement Team assisted local communities and the Sutherland Community Partnership in creating local development plans. Using a wide variety of methods to capture views and opinions of local people we evidenced current needs in local communities. By doing this, we helped to bring communities and statutory agencies together to work on the issues that matter the most, whether this was through a better provision of public services or by supporting community-driven local developments.

The Sutherland Community Partnership (SCP) has created Locality Plans for the five “most deprived” areas in Sutherland. These were identified, based on a range of data sources, as being Golspie, Brora, Helmsdale, Creich and Kinlochbervie.

The SCP recognised that other areas in the county would benefit from a similar consultation, so the Community Engagement Team also carried out work in the remaining areas of Sutherland. The Team engaged with 17 communities in Sutherland in total.

To see the individual community plans and appendices, please visit the Sutherland Community Partnership website.
