Funding

A new website will act as a central location for information, news and resources about Participatory Budgeting in Scotland.

Participatory budgeting (PB) is recognised as a way for local people to have a direct say in how, and where, public funds can be used to address local requirements.

Different PB models exist, although it normally involves members of the community deciding through a voting process how to spend part of the budget of a public agency such as a local authority.
