Summary

Funding and support is available to community groups in the Highlands and Islands region to help develop assets that benefit their local area. HIE can fund a knowledge exchange visit with another group, either as a host or visitor, to help you learn from what others have put in place and learn from their experiences.

Community groups and intermediaries can also get financial support for:

• hosting or attending training courses and events
• hosting capacity-building events for the community-assets sector
• other activities that may benefit the development of your community assets.
