Crown Estate Revenues Funding (CERF) aims to support community projects across the Western Isles. The CERF is distributed to community groups seeking to improve infrastructure and economic development in their area. Engagement throughout the process will be required by Ward area forums to identify local needs and aspirations. Ultimately, local people decide on their own priorities.

Projects must be able to demonstrate that they address one of the following priorities:

• alignment with one of the themes within the Outer Hebrides Economic Recovery Strategy: community recovery; digital recovery; green recovery
• improves community resilience
• delivers positive climate and net zero impacts
• impacts on the challenges of depopulation
