SCDN Response to Community Empowerment Scotland Bill

“… CPPs should invest in skilled Community Development support for communities on an on-going basis to enable communities to understand, analyse and collectivise needs, issues and aspirations and to effectively engage.”

SCDN Response to Scotland’s National Action Plan for Human Rights

“The pressure of global economic and environmental crisis make this a crucial time in deciding what our national priorities must be and what our international responsibilities are, and how we are to fulfill them. 

The values and vision of community development and human rights are central to any approach that seeks to challenge the current levels of injustice, violence and inequality which threaten the world.”

SCDN receives funding from Education Scotland

We are pleased to report that SCDN has secured funding from Education Scotland, through their Strategic Funding Partnerships scheme. This will enable SCDN to work on shared outcomes relating to support for community development practitioners.
