Community Wealth Building Survey Results

Latest Community Wealth Building Survey from the Edinburgh & Southeast Scotland City Region realeased.

 

Last year we launched the Community Wealth Building (CWB) Survey to gain a snapshot of the overall understanding of the 5 pillars of CWB, and how that might potentially differ depending on which local authority you live in within the ESES City Region. 

This was the second year we launched this survey and it provides us with a truly unique overview of what people really feel is important to them and their community through Community Wealth Building. This is even more important to understand since the Community Wealth Building (Scotland ) Bill was launched in March this year. 

We have also included some of the individual opinions shared throughout the region which are vital at understanding the unique challenges each are faces, as well identifying common themes - like employability challenges.

Employabilty challenges can really influence communities and the ability to ensure people have fair opportunities to improve their situations. We have have shared some of the anonymous feedback provided from across our region. 

Our next survey will be shared later in this year and again it will provide us with great insight in to how the awareness of CWB is developing. In our first survey 32% said they had never heard of 'Community Wealth Building' and this year that had dropped to 14.71%. 

Look out for the 2025 Survey later in the year!
