Ten groups to be supported through Knowledge is Power

Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) is delighted to announce the ten community groups who will be supported to carry out community-led action research and develop their own evidence to influence change in their communities.

We’re also pleased to announce that Corra Foundation and Inspiring Scotland have provided additional funding for projects they support to be involved in Knowledge is Power. This has helped increase the number of supported projects from six to ten. We are also really grateful that Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs will part sponsor one of the local inquiries.

The successful groups are:

  • Aberdeen in Recovery
  • Auchinleck Community Devlopment Initiative
  • Community Action Blackburn
  • Crossroads Youth & Community Association (in partnership with Bridging the Gap)
  • Dunterlie Foodshare
  • Fernhill Community Kitty
  • Friends of Inchyra Park
  • Moray Wellbeing Hub CIC
  • Shetland Community Connections

  • Taking Up Sophie’s Fight
Find out more about all of the groups we’re working with here.

The research evidence generated by the community organisations will be brought together through the Knowledge is Power website and used to help shape policy at a national level across Scotland.

The programme is being delivered by Scottish Community Development Centre and The Poverty Alliance and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and Scottish Government.
