Formal board meeting - paper 6: Cairngorms 2030 communities fund risk register - 28 November 2025

This document contains a risk register for the Cairngorms 2030 Communities Fund, a £1 million fund launching in summer 2026 that will empower communities to design and deliver projects that achieve the aims of Cairngorms 2030. The register identifies potential risks to the fund's success, such as insufficient interest, difficulty recruiting diverse voices for the co-design panel, and potential conflicts of interest. It also outlines mitigation strategies to address these risks, including targeted recruitment efforts, transparent processes, and collaboration with experienced consultants such as the Involve Foundation. The Park Authority will act as the accountable body for the fund and work to capture learnings from the process for future initiatives.
