Community Asset Transfer

Community Empowerment - Community Asset Transfer

The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 aims to empower communities by giving them control over assets so they can work together to make better communities.

The Act moves asset transfer from a voluntary approach by public bodies to one which introduces a right for community bodies to make requests for ownership, lease, management or use of publicly owned buildings or land whether or not they are available for sale or considered surplus to requirements.

NHS Fife has a responsibility to assess requests transparently against a specified list of criteria.
