We work with 17 deprived communities and all are recognised by the Highland CPP as needing additional support to tackle inequalities. The overall aim of the one year project is to provide support and assistance to, and in the interface between, these communities and Community Partnerships (CPs) to create a stronger long term and sustainable relationship in tackling socio-economic disadvantage. It will specifically help to increase support and capacity for both the CP and the community in designing community led solutions, and promote more collaboration between existing services, community-led services and communities themselves.
