Welcome
...to the Sus it Out Plus™ website, here to help you and your community lead more sustainable lifestyles. Sustainable communities are not the result of a one-size-fits-all plan imposed from outside, they grow from within. Sus it Out Plus™ enables community and voluntary organisations to work out how they already contribute to sustainable development and to decide how they can build on this for the future.
Sus it Out Plus™ is managed by Forward Scotland on behalf of the Future Scotland Partnership with funding from the Big Lottery Fund.

Supporters
The Sus it Out Plus™ programme has received a grant from the Big Lottery Fund to work with 150 community groups over the two years to 31 March 2011. The grant was awarded under the Dynamic Inclusive Communities strand of the Investing in Communities programme, with an emphasis on delivering on their Outcome 5 - People and communities have more power over their lives and more say in decisions that are made about them.

Sus it Out Plus is a separate programme from those being run by the Scottish Commuity Development Centre and the Scottish Community Foundation. Although they are all seeking to increase the skills and strengths of Scotland's communities, each programme is differentiated by the level of involvement with the groups with which they work, and the existing skills and experience of the groups.
Forward Scotland is working with SCDC and SCF to maximise the learning from the three programmes, and will commission a joint evaluation of elements of our work.
