Participatory Budgeting enables residents to decide how public money should be spent in their communities.
This year £100,000 was divided between four areas of Perth and Kinross with high levels of deprivation.
The funding was split over four targeted localities as follows:
- Central and North Perth: £47,837
- Coupar Angus, Meigle, and Alyth: £18,846
- Rattray: £16,690
- South Crieff: £16,625
Bids had to be community-led and focused on tackling poverty and alleviating the cost-of-living crisis in these areas.
Public voting took place over three weeks from 17 February 2025. 13,310 votes were cast in total, with 2,069 made online and 11,241 made in person.
