Social Value

Community Wealth Building

Since 2022, the Edinburgh South East Scotland City Region Deal has worked with the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) to strengthen Community Wealth Building across our projects.

While all Deal projects already deliver community benefits, IRES is committed to going further by embedding Community Wealth Building principles throughout construction, launch, operation and long-term legacy.
