Well said sir. Housing is the foundation of stability. There is something profoundly human about the need for a safe, stable place to call home. Housing isn’t just about having a roof over your head—it’s about creating a space where families can thrive, children can grow, and communities can flourish. A home provides more than shelter; it offers security, dignity, and a foundation for building a better life. When we strengthen access to quality, affordable housing, we aren’t just helping individuals—we’re empowering entire communities. This belief is what drives my passion for the work I do every day. Whether we’re helping develop housing, restoring communities, or providing deconstruction for materials resale, I know that we are contributing to something far greater than just the structures we work on. We are helping to create opportunities for stability, growth, and hope. Housing is more than a need—it’s a right. And it’s a cause we all care deeply about. Together, let’s build a future where every person can experience the safety and security that a stable home provides. #HousingMatters #CommunityDevelopment #AffordableHousing #Stability #MakingADifference #capefearhabitatforhumanity

The Community Land Leadership Group, Scottish Land Commission, met on 7th March to discuss and consider (1) Asset Transfer and (2) urban community land ownership. A review is being undertaken by the Scottish Government of the Asset Transfer processes and implementation, as part of a wider consideration of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015. The results of the review are expected to be published by the end of the year. We also received a presentation from Carey Doyle, Urban Hub Manager at Community Land Scotland regarding the amazing work that is being undertaken in urban areas in bringing land in to community ownership. Over 100 case enquiries received in the Glasgow & Clyde Valley area and many from areas of resource deprivation. So much has been achieved in a short space of time with communities more empowered, confidence levels increased and issues of vacant & derelict land being addressed,
