This document contains the latest delivery updates on the Cairngorms Local Action Group (LEADER) Programme and voluntary and charitable giving activities managed by the Cairngorms LEADER Local Action Group Trust (Cairngorms Trust). It asks the Performance Committee to review the updates and consider their impact on the Cairngorms National Park Authority's (NPA) strategic outcomes and risk management. The LEADER Programme concluded in December 2021, with 95% of the allocation spent. There is a continued effort to increase voluntary giving returns within the Trust's future funding profile. The Trustees are engaging in the development of national policy around the future of community led local development funding in Scotland, with an increasingly positive outlook.
