Background
Throughout 2023 a wide network of grassroots community organisations, local campaigners, funders, local authority leaders and facilitators came together around a vision for a new long-term community fund for Edinburgh. After a period of co-design, learning and fundraising the Regenerative Futures Fund is now entering its operational phase.
Role Overview
Foundation Scotland is excited to invite applications for the role of Participation Lead of the Regenerative Futures Fund. This innovative, ten-year fund aims to tackle the root causes of poverty and racism while contributing to a just green transition in Edinburgh. We are committed to equity, inclusion, and supporting leaders from diverse and marginalised communities.
The Participation Lead will complete the employed project team of three and will work closely with the two Co-Heads, leading participation of local people in both decision-making and in holding those involved accountable.
What We Are Looking For
We’re looking for an inclusive, collaborative and supportive person to work with the two Co-Heads to lead and support participation of local people in decision-making panels for the Regenerative Futures Fund (RFF). This role will be responsible for overseeing participation by local people to make funding decisions and have ongoing involvement in a 10-year programme to address the root causes of poverty and racism while restoring the natural world in Edinburgh.

About this role
East Lammermuir is a rural Community Council area within the Dunbar and East Linton Ward of East Lothian and includes the villages of Innerwick, Oldhamstocks, Spott and Stenton.
