A Happy Sustainable Scotland? We believe that societies that pursue sustainable development will improve the well-being of people and the communities in which they live, for the long-term. This can only be achieved by integrating economic, environmental and social impacts. In 2008 we conducted a survey of people in Scotland to provide a snap shot of people's view of their well-being. We are now looking to repeat the survey to discover how people in Scotland feel in these new circumstances. Follow the hyperlink to the 2010 survey .

Community Grants

Visits to Edinburgh projects On 19 August 2009 representatives of the East Lothian panel for Viridor Credits Scotland went on a short visit to a couple of Edinburgh-based projects that have received grants from the programme in the last year. Both are in north Edinburgh, and both provide football facilities to local young people, and it's fair to say that both projects impressed and surprised those of the panel who were able to come along.
