Guidance for community organisations

Taking on a building brings responsibilities. Before applying, make sure you can manage:

  • health and safety
  • fire safety
  • insurance and licences
  • maintenance and repairs
  • community involvement

Support does not end after transfer. Ongoing advice is available.

Email communityassets@southlanarkshire.gov.uk to discuss readiness.
