We are the first Community Wealth Building (CWB) Council in Scotland.
CWB means more local employment and a larger and more diverse business base, ensuring that wealth is locally owned and benefits local people.
It is about how we work as an organisation and with partners, from the:
- goods that we buy
- people that we employ
- assets we own
- powers we have that can bring about change to maximise local economic opportunities
We launched our CWB Strategy in May 2020, you can watch a summary of the online launch below:
