Subject: Locality Participatory Budgeting Report 2024/25
Purpose
To provide elected members with an overview of the impact of the Locality Participatory Budgeting Project 2024/25.
Briefing Information
A total amount of £100,000 was made available to communities of Perth and Kinross-shire through a Participatory Budgeting (PB) process, transferring the decision-making of how public money is spent to local people. The fund was themed to support projects that tackle the cost-of-living.
The fund would be used in four targeted localities based on data analysis from ACORN and the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). These local localities were Central & North Perth; Rattray; South Crieff and Coupar Angus, Meigle & Alyth. Allocations were divided across the localities based on income-deprived population ratio from SIMD data.
The Locality PB fund project was delivered in partnership between PKC Community Planning, Community Learning and Development (CLD) Team, PKC Communications Team and a PKC Poverty Taskforce representative.
The Locality PB report 2024-25 (PDF, 1 MB) contains some key statistical data, key learning points and case studies.
