Circular Communities Scotland is a network membership organisation, dedicated to supporting the establishment of a
thriving circular economy in Scotland. We support and represent repair, reuse and recycling charities and social

communities.

- Developing and overseeing Circular Communities Scotland’s core circular economy policy
positions.

running a hustings style event.
- Running a post-election campaign targeting Members of Scottish
Parliament (MSPs), our membership and wider stakeholder organisations.
- Working with Scottish Government
to see key policy asks enacted.
- Working with our membership to involve them in our policy
work.
