This document contains delivery updates on the Cairngorms Leader Programme and voluntary and charitable activities managed by the Cairngorms Leader Local Action Group Trust (Cairngorms Trust), focusing on securing replacement Leader funding for Community Led Local Development (CLLD). The Performance Committee is asked to review these updates, considering their contribution to strategic outcomes, impacts on performance objectives, and effects on strategic risk management. While the Leader Programme has concluded successfully, securing future Community Led Local Development funding equivalent to Leader levels remains a challenge, with initial allocations for 2023/24 lower than previous levels, though the Cairngorms Trust is working to secure additional funding. The document also highlights the need to increase voluntary giving returns and acknowledges strategic risks related to resourcing and staffing, but senior managers do not think there are any matters of strategic significance that merit escalation.
