Scotland became the first country in the world to pass national Community Wealth Building legislation. The bill passed unanimously on February 10, 2026, 103 votes for, zero against. And the viral video covering it, watched by millions of people across the world, was cited on the floor of Holyrood during the final vote, reframing for the people inside the room what they were actually doing.
The five pillars this operates through
Progressive procurement means public spending strengthens local supply chains and prioritises social value over lowest cost.Fair employment expands living wage jobs and improves work quality through anchor institutions.
Plural ownership grows cooperatives and social enterprises that keep wealth local instead of extracted.
Democratic land use promotes community ownership that generates local wealth and stewards environments.
Local finance redirects investment to recirculate in communities rather than flow to distant shareholders.

Support for the Orcadian language is just one of the key areas of focus in the second Islands Plan published by the Scottish Government. Community Wealth Building – strengthening the local Orkney economy – is a central feature of the revised Plan.

What if... land, property, public spending benefited communities, supported fair jobs and shared wealth with many not just a few?
Just Transition Wakefield has been exploring that with Unite Community Leeds & Wakefield and Climate Action Leeds and shared the story of "Wealth In Our Hands", an event building a coalition for Community Wealth Building...

A new report from #cles. On the tin it says "A new vision for community wealth and power" - while maybe it isn't quite that, there are some sound things in there. For example:
"Rather than prioritising high growth and frontier sectors, which can realistically only hope to support the economy of a few places, the emphasis should be on a just transition within the everyday economy."

A #wellbeingeconomy is a post capitalist goal which builds wellbeing for all. #communitywealthbuilding is the practical means to achieve that with #democraticeconomy at its heart.
-
#wellbeingeconomy can't keep circling as an idea. It needs to start practically landing on net zero, new/transitioned industry, shifting economic ownership and ending wealth extraction. #communitywealthbuilding is already on the case by delivering that essential economic rewiring

Reflections on #CLES #communitywealthbuilding summit
✊️Movement is strong
⏩️ Pushing on. Early CWB adopters are building on successes.
💰Must maintain focus on wealth extraction and system change to economic model
🙂CWB benefits from strategic framing within #justtransition/#economictransformation #wellbeingeconomy
🎤we need to keep singing about successes.
🏴 🏴, Northern Ireland and city regions in England are important for showing what can done at scale.
💪keep being bold and brave! -
Got my head in #CommunityWealthBuilding and doughnut economics this morning. The inspiring Immy Kaur talking to us about the civic & social infrastructure in #Birmingham - this phrase ‘develop islands of coherence in our own situation and connect to other islands’ has deeply resonated with me.
The move from extractive to regenerative is happening, has to continue, has to scale at pace. And we have to realise and shout about how far adrift we are - locally, nationally, globally.
