Road to Recovery (Ep 28) 18/05/22 - Outlook 2030 Revisited: ‘Thriving Places’

This episode is all about how some communities across the Highlands and Islands are tackling the Outlook 2030 strategy’s key priority for Thriving Places. The new chair of the North Highland Initiative (www.northhighlandinitiative.co.uk) Genevieve Duhigg talks about the challenges they face, and how thinking strategically is key for a sustainable future. We visit the Kinlochleven Community Trust (www.kinlochleven.org.uk) to talk to Trust Manager Lucy Cooke about how they have tapped into some of the funding available to create their own strategy - with faster, tangible results. And Rhoda Meek from isleHOLIDAY (www.isleholiday.com) explains how they are using an alternative business model to keep profits in their own communities, rather than give them away to large third parties.
