We frequently consult, and survey, our members to understand key challenges and pressures they face collectively as a sector as well as producing insight reports highlighting the work of our sector. This information is then made available to members, and communicated to partner organisations, councils and governments. We also commission reports with partner organisations and research companies.

Find out how we can support and work in true partnership with Local Authorities as part of Local Government Reorganisation. Our new LGR brochure highlights three case studies with our members and the benefits they bring to a Unitary Authority.


Commissioned by Creative Scotland, CLUK and sportscotland this report by specialist economic and social research company EKOS explains the current challenges faced by our members in Scotland and the reasons for them. The report was published in August 2024.
