Summary

The Place Based Investment Fund aims to bring the Place Principle to life through funding for capital projects; to accelerate the delivery of community led regeneration, community wealth building, town centre revitalisation, and 20-minute neighbourhoods.

The fund will support significant change for Midlothian communities through community led projects. Applicants must be able to demonstrate support for their initiative by people in the local area.

The main objectives of the fund are:

• to link and align place based initiatives and establish a coherent local framework to implement the Place Principle;
• to support place policy ambitions such as town centre revitalisation, community led regeneration, 20 minute neighbourhoods and Community Wealth Building;
• to ensure that all place based investments are shaped by the needs and aspirations of local communities; to accelerate our ambitions for net zero, wellbeing and inclusive economic development, tackling inequality and disadvantage, community involvement and ownership.
