PZA Scottish Centre for Regeneration Events page

The Scottish Centre for Regeneration is part of Communities Scotland, the Scottish Executive’s housing and regeneration agency.We work to help improve the effectiveness of people and organisations trying to achieve the Scottish Executive’s Closing the Opportunity Gap objectives including a specific target to:

“promote community regeneration of the most deprived neighbourhoods, through improvements by 2008 in employability, education, health, access to local services and quality of the local environment.”

We help support those involved in community regeneration to improve their effectiveness by identifying:

what works and what doesn’t work and learn from this
new approaches to community regeneration and how to implement them
the skills needed and how to develop them.

We do this by putting in place programmes that support improvements in partnership working, mainstream services, develop the skills of people involved, and improve links between health, employment, educational and sustainable development programmes.

About the events

All events are free of charge but places are limited per organisation. Please note that if you book for an event and do not attend without cancelling your place 24 hours in advance, you will be given lower priority for all future events. Many of our events are over-subscribed and we need to be sure that as many people are able to benefit from them.

All venues are fully accessible for wheelchair users and we can make provision for people with other needs if you let us know in advance. Support towards care costs for those with children or other caring responsibilities may also be available. Please let us know if you require materials in another format or another language. We will try to meet requests for religious requirements if you tell us in advance.

Community representatives and members of the Community Voices network may be able to receive support towards travel and subsistence costs from their local partnership. If not, please contact us to see if we can help.

We will publish a Learning Point with key lessons from each event on our website at:
