Local authorities help Local Community Development Committees to create an integrated approach to community development by coordinating access to funding, developing and delivering projects, and promoting community engagement.
Local authorities, together with other agencies, may support community and voluntary groups to showcase initiatives that have created a long lasting impact in their community such as creative wellbeing, place and community tourism projects.
Local authorities publish reports to provide details of how they comply with the Public Spending Code to maintain proper standards and get value for money where public money is being spent or invested.
