The twelve case studies highlighted here represent a small cross section of many hundreds of community empowerment initiatives currently underway across Scotland. They show a range of models that can be empowering. They involve communities owning assets and people playing a key role in influencing decisions about how public money is spent. They include several types of community organisation, including community councils, registered tenants organisations, community based housing associations and community businesses.
