Aberdeen Communities

As well as representing the community to the local authority, community councils facilitate a wide range of activities which promote the well-being of their communities

We created the Greyhope Bay Centre. It opened in 2022, at the former Torry artillery battery, now a historic monument. The Centre is eco-friendly, heritage-sensitive and community-centred. Made from converted shipping containers, it operates completely off-grid: our primary power source is solar and our water supply is the rain that falls on our roof. It has spectacular views of the coast and visitors can view dolphins in the bay while enjoying an ethically-sourced cup of coffee.

Welcome to Slopefield Allotment Association, a constituted body set up in 2010 to manage on a day to day basis over 100 allotments in partnership with Aberdeen City Council and located just off Craigton Road in Airyhall, Aberdeen.​ In July 2019 Slopefield became the first allotment site not only in Aberdeen, but in Scotland, to be awarded a coveted “Green Flag” in recognition of good management practice for green spaces.

NETRALT involves social landlords and their customers working together to promote tenant participation. Our partnership comprises of Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, Castlehill Housing Association, Grampian Housing Association, Langstane Housing Association, Moray Council and Osprey Housing.

Tenants Together is a national network of tenants committed to empowering the tenants of today and tomorrow, ensuring their voices are heard and influence decisions within the Scottish social housing sector, to protect tenants rights and make a difference.
