Regeneration contest launched

NOMINATIONS are being sought from this region for top examples of community regeneration.

The 2025 SURF Awards for Best Practice in Community Regeneration have been launched with a call for entries.

The purpose is to highlight, celebrate and share the achievements of initiatives that address physical, social and economic challenges in communities across Scotland.

This year’s categories include; Removing Barriers to Employability, Creative Regeneration; Community Led Regeneration; Improving Scotland’s Places; and Housing and Regeneration.

The winners will be announced at a celebratory dinner event in December.

Employment and Investment Minister Tom Arthur said: “The SURF Awards is a valuable platform to recognise and celebrate outstanding examples of community-led regeneration across Scotland,

showcasing projects which inspire others and demonstrate what is possible.”

Brian MacDonald, SURF chair said: “Over the past 27 years we have sought to highlight the many and varied exciting projects across Scotland and this year is no different.

“Our 2025 Awards will, I’m sure, highlight all that is best in Scottish community regeneration and will provide inspiration for us all.”
