At DTAS, our mission is to support communities to thrive through our community-led network and national place-based sustainable action.

We recently launched our manifesto based around five pillars for change. This is for all political parties, policymakers and citizens who want to see communities empowered to shape their own futures. The full manifesto sets out practical, systemic reforms and actions that can be embraced by any political party or government committed to stronger communities and a healthy and wealthy Scotland.

Our five pillars for change are:

• A sustainable and supportive environment for communities
• Developing local democracy
• An inclusive, sustainable, wellbeing economy
• Land reform and community ownership
• A just transition and climate action
