What does ‘community empowerment’ really mean in practice?

Alasdair Ross, Policy and Consultations Officer at ACVO TSI and Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action, joins fellow ACVO colleague and Communications Officer Andrew Davidson to unpack the term and explore how it’s used across the sector.

Alasdair discusses how ‘community empowerment’ can be misused to justify funding cuts and to shift responsibility onto communities, the growing pressure on charities to deliver essential services, and the widening gaps the third sector is being asked to fill across Aberdeen.
