Communities Fund - session one resources

This document contains information about Cairngorms 2030, an initiative inspired by the Gaelic word Dùthchas, which describes the deep connection between people and nature. This program aims to empower local people to address problems with nature and the changing climate, with a goal for the Cairngorms National Park to be the first in the UK to achieve net zero carbon emissions. Through 20 long-term projects, it will transform land management to benefit nature, empower communities to shape their future, make travel around the Cairngorms easier, safer and greener, and foster healthier, happier communities. A central part of this is a fund of one million pounds, which a panel of 18 local people will design and oversee the distribution of, making decisions on eligibility rules and award amounts.
