Just Transition - A Community Discussion
A Community Discussion - Just Transition Participatory Budgeting Fund Meeting
Community groups are invited to attend a special Just Transition Participatory Budgeting fund event at Elgin Town Hall on Monday 29th May.
Round two of the capital fund to support north east Scotland’s economy in its transition to ‘net zero’ is launching in early summer 2023 and community groups will again be invited to apply for funding for their just transition project. These projects will then be put to a public vote by residents of Moray through a process known as participatory budgeting (PB). The PB process will enable local people to have a direct say on how money will be allocated on these capital projects in Moray.
The Scottish Government has announced a ten year £500 million Just Transitions Capital Fund to support Scotland’s north-east economy in its just transition to ‘net zero’ – i.e. to an economy that does not rely on climate-changing, carbon-rich fossil fuels like oil and gas.
In the first year £20 million was made available with £1 million across Moray, Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City allocated through a participatory budgeting (PB) process. In round one, £333,333 was awarded to community groups in Moray with 13 projects supported including community composting, electric vehicles, tools upgrade and energy fairs. Every project attracted in excess of 430 votes, with 3,459 people taking part in voting.
The meeting on May 29th is a vital part of the deliberative process focussing on how the round one funding process went, what needs to be tweaked, and crucially, how the process can continue to further support emerging connections between communities wanting to take action in the move to net zero.
The Just Transitions Capital Fund in Moray is being managed by tsiMoray in partnership with Money for Moray.
Alastair Kennedy from Money for Moray explained “This is an important event for community groups in Moray looking for help to make the transition to net zero.
This meeting is a vital part of the deliberative process and Money for Moray encourages all community groups to take part and feed into the journey towards net zero”.
“We are very excited to be working with our partners at Money for Moray on round two of the fund to support community-led projects. It is vital we learn from our collective experiences in round one to further develop the process for to allow community groups in Moray to address the multiple challenges of our energy crisis, cost of living crisis, and climate emergency”, says Fabio Villani from the Leadership Team of tsiMORAY.
Participatory Budgeting shifts the power of decision making back to communities. So, this event is open to all. Whether you're a grant holder, applicant, or supporter, this event is for you. Share experiences, collaborate, and contribute ideas to improve the funding process.

A FAIRER MORAY FOR ALL
Over the last four years the Money for Moray (M4M) Team has disbursed a total of £275,000 to 91 organisations throughout Moray. Most of these funds came from the Scottish Government. In a process called Participatory Budgeting (PB), members of the public voted to decide which organisations received a share of the funds. Preparations are underway for a further round during which M4M will give out a further £150,000 from the Scottish Government’s Empowering Communities/Investing in Communities Fund.
This funding has been obtained to provide “A Fairer Moray for All” and the main themes are Health and Wellbeing, Poverty, Growing a diverse and sustainable economy, and Accessibility. Groups which are improving the lives of people, particularly vulnerable and young people, are encouraged to apply for a share of the funds to tackle issues such as food insecurity, fuel poverty, transport difficulties, literacy and employability.
Although the M4M group will lead on the project, some work will be undertaken by staff from Moray Council’s Youth Engagement Team which will support the involvement of our young people. The Engagement Team supported the successful YP (Young People) Decide PB project, which was funded by the Community Choices Fund 2018/19. YP Decide was organised with schools and the young people took the decisions during the project.
This new round of funding wishes to capture the energy and excitement YP Decide created under the banner “YP Decide - A Fairer Moray for All”.
An initial event was held to identify the priorities and M4M have built these into the application forms.
Applications will open on 9 March 2020 and close on 3 April 2020.
Application forms can be submitted on the M4M website moneyformoray.org which has more information.
A facebook page will be set up.
Members of the public will be encouraged to attend events in Forres Town Hall on 16 May and also Longmore Hall Keith on 30 May to vote on which projects receive funding.
Alastair Kennedy, Chair of the Joint Community Councils of Moray (JCCM) and leader of the M4M Team said, “I am delighted that the M4M PB Group, through the application to the Scottish Government`s “Investing in Communities” Fund via the JCCM, has once again leveraged substantial funding into Moray. This time the theme of the PB exercise will be “A Fairer Moray for All” so we hope the funding will help alleviate poverty in Moray. Part of the funding will go to each Associated School Groups to allow another YP Decides PB exercise to be undertaken by our young people who, with support from the Moray Youth Team, will take the decisions on how their funding will be allocated under the same theme”.
Looking to the future, the Moray Council will be required to allocate a minimum of 1% of its budget to be decided by a PB process allowing the Council to more fully engage with the community and to increase participation in decision making. This will ensure that budgets are allocated to those areas that are a high priority for communities in terms of need.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING FOR ALL AGES
The Money for Moray Participatory Budgeting Group members are still reeling after their fifth and most recent Participatory Budgeting (PB) event completely filled the Grant Hall in Rothes with some people left standing. Over 300 people from across Moray packed the hall to see 36 groups giving short presentations in the hope of persuading the audience to vote for their project. There was £60,000 from the Scottish Government`s Community Choices Fund up for grabs following the group`s successful application to the fund.
The group had catered for up to 200 which is a normal turnout. Having such a large turnout created a few problems with parking and timing, with the event over-running slightly because of the huge number of votes to be counted.
After the votes were cast the audience were treated to a fantastic buffet provided by Sandy Henderson, Charlestown Cuisine. A free raffle then helped fill the time required to count almost 3,000 votes with 10 votes spread across each ballot paper.
The outcome of the count was 24 successful applicants (see image).
Following the event one winning applicant, the Elgin Street Pastors said:
"Please do pass our grateful thanks to the members of Money for Moray for all the work they did in the lead up to and at the event at the Grant Hall in Rothes." and
"Thank you all so much for the donation of £696.00 towards the work of the School Pastor Initiative of Elgin Street Pastors. I know my colleague Rosemary Young, the school pastor co-ordinator, was very surprised but also highly delighted at receiving the cheque having heard from other worthwhile projects that didn't receive anything."
Gordon Methven - Co-ordinator, Elgin Street Pastors
The theme of the exercise was “Health and wellbeing for all ages” and, very appropriately, the cheques and certificates were handed to the successful groups by Laura Sutherland, Acting Health & Wellbeing Lead from the Moray Health and Social Care Partnership.
Afterwards Laura, who had thoroughly enjoyed the event said "It was a real privilege to be part of such a successful community event which had a focus on supporting and improving the health and wellbeing of our communities across Moray. Those applying for funding were extremely enthusiastic and creative in their approach. The success of the event was down to all those who participated and the hard work and commitment of the Money for Moray volunteers."
A spokesman for the group said the members were delighted at the most recent response to PB which shows the system is creating lots of interest. The group are looking to the future of PB in Moray and how the PB system might become integral to mainstream budgets in Moray. The group has been invited to organise a development day with Community Planning`s Community Engagement Group, the Community Planning Partners and officers involved with delivering Community Planning in Moray.

Money for Moray is delighted to announce that they have received £55,000 from Moray Council’s Economic Development Section for a further round of Participatory Budgeting (PB). PB is an initiative which lets the wider community decide which community group projects will help boost the local economy of Moray. This enterprise is being delivered by the Money for Moray team – a group of volunteer community representatives from across Moray and follows on from three other successful PB events.
Any local new or existing community or voluntary group/ organisation can apply for funding from £200 to £4000 by completing a short application form. Groups with projects based in the towns of Elgin, Keith, Lossiemouth, Forres or Buckie are ineligible to apply. However, if a group is based in one of these towns and the project is outwith the town area they may apply for this funding.
Projects must deliver economic benefit to the local community, support the local economy and help to make Moray a better place for everyone.
A successful applicant from a previous round of PB funding said “When you are a hardworking community group with a very small income, it is a real privilege to see your application for much needed funding judged on the day by real people. Participatory Budgeting is such a good system. The money released to The Lampie Hoose through Money for Moray has made a huge difference to what we have been able to achieve.” Kay Griffin, The Lampie Hoose, Portgordon.

MONEY FOR MORAY- NEW FUND ANNOUNCED
Community groups in Moray are set to get a cash boost next year. Following on from the success of the first Money for Moray participatory budgeting project earlier in 2016, the Money for Moray Working Group are pleased to announce a new funding stream that will open for applications early in the New Year.
£40,000 in total will be available, funded through the Scottish Government’s Community Choices scheme, for projects that voluntary community groups put forward to tackle social isolation in Moray. Ideas for projects could include those that tackle some of the causes of social isolation, including lack of access to services, accessible transport issues, loneliness and low income levels.
Groups will be able to apply once for a maximum of £4,000 and application forms will be available from 5th January 2017, with applications closing on 10th February. Applicant groups who meet the criteria will be asked to make a short presentation to the public at an event to be held in late March 2017.
Alastair Kennedy of the Money for Moray Working Group encouraged groups across Moray to apply: “Here is an opportunity to progress what may as yet be an idea and take it to fruition, to help relieve the awful effects of social isolation which are found across Scotland. That idea, if firmed up and taken to application stage, may at least make a difference to Moray folk who find themselves in this unenviable position. What`s to lose by applying?”
Further details on the scheme, including how to apply, will be available in early January 2017.
