Community Empowerment

Community empowerment refers to the process of enabling communities to increase control over their lives.

These short videos will give you an introduction to Community Asset Transfer and Participation Requests. More detailed information can be found in the following links.

Find out more about community empowerment in our community empowerment e-learning module.

Community Asset Transfer

Community Asset Transfer allows for the transfer by lease, ownership or other management arrangement of land or buildings currently owned by Dundee City Council provided certain criteria are followed. Find out more about Community Asset Transfer.

Participatory Budgeting

Participatory Budgeting is intended to give people more power to make decisions on spending in their local areas.

In Dundee we have a variety of ways in which the citizens of Dundee can have their say on how money is spent in their local communities.

Dundee's Participatory Budgeting Exercises can be found at Dundee's Voice.

Participation Requests

Participation requests are a new way for communities to get involved in how the Council and other public sector services are planned and delivered. Find out more about Participation Requests.

Community Engagement

In order to ascertain what matters to community we conduct regular consultation and engagement exercises with communities.

These are the results of our most recent city wide engagement exercise Engage Dundee 2021.
