The Role of the Troon Community Council

Community Councils are voluntary bodies which exist within a statutory framework and which have been granted statutory rights of consultation. The general purpose of the Troon Community Council is to ascertain, co-ordinate and express the wider views of the entire community within its boundaries. Community Councils will seek to represent and include all sections of their communities, regardless of age, gender, ability, ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, or sexual orientation. They can complement the role of the local authority but are not part of local government.

Community Information

UKSPF – Community Empowerment Fund

I wanted to make you aware of the CEF which launched on Friday 19th January 2024 and closes on Thursday 8th February 2024.

South Ayrshire Council has been allocated funding from UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and I have recently came into post as External Funding Officer to support this fund.

Empowering communities is a national priority. It is an important part of public service reform, focusing attention on reducing disadvantage and inequality and improving outcomes for communities.

South Ayrshire Council is committed to promoting and supporting the principles of community empowerment and encouraging interest in community asset transfer, as well as groups taking ownership of local land and assets and driving forward community led regeneration.

The definition used in respect of community-led regeneration by the Scottish Government,  states that community-led regeneration is about “people identifying issues and opportunities in their local area; deciding what to do about them and making positive change in their communities.”Full information and guidance notes which details the full criteria as well as details on how apply can be accessed using the link below:

https://www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/funding/

Please note the main objectives of the fund will be to assist groups with community empowerment through the development of cultural and heritage activities as well as sport and art.

 If you have any questions or queries relating to this fund please contact myself or grants@south-ayrshire.gov.uk

Kind Regards
