Outer Hebrides Community Led Local Development Local Action Group (OH CLLD LAG)

The Outer Hebrides CLLD LAG provides a platform for a variety of public, private and voluntary sector stakeholders to work together in partnership to deliver innovative, sustainable community-led projects. The LAG has overall responsibility for the management and strategic direction of the programme and monitoring its outputs.

The OH CLLD LAG currently has 11 members, all of whom were strategic members of the previous LEADER LAG. Individual members are expected to actively support the functions of the LAG by contributing their expertise and experience to ensure the LAG is well informed, activity responds to community needs and ambitions, and that CLLD makes a meaningful contribution to improving life in the Outer Hebrides.

A LAG Chair and Vice-Chair are appointed on an annual basis. They may be re-elected for no more than two consecutive years at which point the Vice may be elected to the post of Chair. Both Chair and Vice-Chair have recently (February 2024) been re-elected for a second term.

Aims and objectives of the LAG

In line with Scottish Government priorities for 2023/24, the OH CLLD LAG have been focusing on:

  • Helping families and services through the cost-of-living crisis;
  • Eradicating child poverty;
  • Transforming the economy to deliver net zero; and 
  • Creating sustainable public services.
