SEAD (Scottish Education and Action for Development)

Finally, the long-awaited birth of our online toolkit – a work in progress which depends on your feedback to make it as good as it can be. The idea is that together we create a community action hub to help people all over Scotland find inspiration, ideas, networks and resources to help make positive change happen – in our own backyards and in the global neighbourhood.

Here you’ll find a wealth of information about help you can get in Scotland, and links you can make with groups all over the world.

There is information on everything from compost to cultural activism, nuclear power and global finance. Whether you want to get involved in something which already exists, or to set up a new project, there are resources here to help you with everything from writing a constitution to fundraising and running successful meetings. We’ve also included case studies of community action here in Scotland and far afield – bringing inspiration and new ideas for what’s possible.

Please let us know what you think of the site. Is it missing something important? Have we got something wrong? We will be constantly updating it, and we plan to launch it formally in early 2009, once we’ve worked through any glitches that arise in the first few weeks. Your feedback is an essential part of that. You can either contact us by adding a comment to this post, or by contacting us at the address at the bottom of this page.
