2025: The Royal Foundation's Community Impact

Summary: These partnerships are part of The Royal Foundation's Community Impact programme's ongoing work to mobilise unique coalitions across the UK to help communities foster greater social connection and develop local community spaces.

1️⃣ Transforming community spaces on the Isle of Mull

Royal Foundation announced two exciting new grants from The Community Impact Programme.

Local interior designer and BBC ‘Designing the Hebrides’ presenter Banjo Beale has volunteered his expertise to collaborate with residents to create spaces that reflect the island’s coastal beauty and vibrant culture. Plans include playful murals, refurbished furniture, and upcycled artefacts, all designed to breathe new life into this essential community hub.

In Tobermory, the much-loved Aros Hall is being re-designed, with work including the refurbishment of the ‘Rainydays’ play area and the introduction of a new soft play zone. These improvements respond to parents’ feedback about the need for more play opportunities for children in the north of Mull. The space will continue to be an essential part of the community, regularly used by local charity Home-Start Lorn to support parents and carers in building strong relationships with their children.

Meanwhile, Pennyghael Community Hall, located in the rural Ross of Mull, will benefit from crucial renovations including vital roof repairs to ensure the hall continues to serve future generations.

The grants have been bolstered by partnerships with key organisations through The Royal Foundation’s Centre for Early Childhood‘s Business Taskforce. The Co-op has provided funding for play equipment for Aros Hall’s ‘Rainydays’ play area, while the LEGO Group has contributed resources to encourage young children on the Isle of Mull to have access to creative play and hands-on learning.

The Foundation is also helping the community explore plans for a sustainable café in the Ross of Mull and fostering opportunities for connection through yoga-based activities funded by local funders the Q Charitable Trust.

2️⃣ Securing roles for rangers in Mull & Iona

The funding, provided through The Royal Foundation’s United for Wildlife programme, will secure the future of two ranger positions, preventing the loss of these essential services. Rangers play a crucial role in balancing conservation with sustainable tourism, ensuring the natural beauty of the Isles remains accessible to residents and visitors alike. 

3️⃣ Community led changes in Leith

The Royal Foundation announced a new partnership with Street Soccer Scotland through its ongoing Community Impact Programme.

This partnership will launch ‘Leith United,’ a local coalition working to revitalise community spaces and foster social connection for vulnerable communities in Edinburgh. By bringing together Leith Community Centre, YMCA Edinburgh, and Street Soccer Scotland, this initiative will strengthen local wellbeing and create a blueprint for sustainable social impact that communities across the UK can replicate.

With support from The Royal Foundation, ‘Leith United’ will enhance existing sports-based initiatives at Leith Community Centre, using the power of football to support individuals facing mental health challenges, addiction, homelessness, and isolation—ensuring they feel part of a welcoming and inclusive community.

As part of The Royal Foundation’s ongoing commitment to strengthening social connection, additional support has been secured to further enhance ‘Leith United.’ This includes an in-kind donation of football equipment from Mitre, the official ball supplier for the FA and football governing bodies globally, to help sustain sports-based initiatives at Leith Community Centre.

What Makes a Great Agronomist? Unpacking the Traits of Agricultural Excellence

Agronomists are the unsung heroes shaping the future of farming. They’re the bridge between science and soil, the architects of abundance in a world hungry for both food and sustainability.

I think about this so much, especially working as a researcher in policy/urban planning. I’ve had incredibly dedicated colleagues who do research around community isolation, and the large majority of them are aware that changing our relationship to the culture of work is truly one of the most powerful solutions. In their work making the case for reducing the standard 40 hr work week, they would sometimes tell me some of the “arguments” they have to fight against (ie why ppl think that reducing the hourly standard will “disincentivize anyone to work at all”) and it’s absolutely infuriating

I also think about this from the angle of having a disability. I have a disability that still allows me to hold a job, but explaining to ppl about how my free time largely gets devoted to managing my disability (so that I actually am able to work more than like three hours a day…) usually gets met with something like “oh, but you CAN still do it, right?” as if the fact that I am able to work this way is somehow the thing to focus on, not the fact that quality of life for the vast majority would improve if we weren’t just going with “oh but it’s POSSIBLE” as the bar

I know I don't shut up about this but frankly not enough people are angry about the 5-day/40 hour workweek (and I am AWARE a lot of people work even more than that). I feel like a lot more people should be absolutely furious that we only really have two days a week and some occasional hours in the evening to socialise, run errands, do chores, or relax.

It's no wonder so many people are profoundly lonely and disconnected from their communities when maintaining a social life in what little free time we have is incredibly difficult. If you have kids, a second job, a very long commute, or other responsibilities, it's nearly impossible.

We literally aren't meant to live like this and I'll never stop being shocked how many people just take it as the natural state of things and don't want to throw a brick through a billionaire's window every time they think of it.

This has intensified the city's affordable housing crisis. Between 2022 and 2023, over 49,000 residents moved to the area. This influx, combined with the underproduction of housing units over the past decade, has exacerbated the situation. Affordability remains a pressing issue. Home prices have surged 72% since 2017, making homeownership increasingly unattainable. Rental assistance programs and innovative affordable housing strategies are essential. These measures are vital to mitigate the escalating crisis. Recently, enhanced tenant protections like those adopted in Oakland have been discussed in several cities affected by similar housing pressures.Court System and Resource ChallengesWhy are eviction cases surging beyond control in Charlotte?The surge of eviction filings in Mecklenburg County has increased by 37% within a year. This rise has greatly overstressed the court system, impacting court efficiency.It adds over 13,000 at-risk households, placing immense pressure on judicial processes.

The real estate sector is witnessing a miraculous transformation driven by sustainability. In 2025, eco-friendly developments are no longer just an option but a necessity. Developers, investors, and homeowners are embracing green solutions that offer significant financial returns, environmental benefits, and enhanced living standards. This article unveils the most groundbreaking and profitable sustainable real estate trends shaping the future of the industry.

1. Net-Zero and Carbon-Neutral Buildings: The Gold Standard The era of net-zero and carbon-neutral buildings is here, redefining real estate profitability and sustainability. These structures generate as much energy as they consume, utilizing advanced renewable energy solutions such as solar, wind, and geothermal power. Cutting-edge insulation, smart HVAC systems, and eco-friendly building materials further drive cost savings and long-term investment value.

2. Smart and Energy-Efficient Homes: The Ultimate Lifestyle Upgrade Technology-driven energy efficiency is at the core of modern real estate. AI-powered smart homes, IoT-enabled devices, and automated lighting systems are optimizing energy use like never before. These innovations not only enhance convenience but also lower operational costs, making sustainable homes the top choice for discerning buyers and investors.

3. Green Building Materials and Sustainable Architecture: The New Luxury Eco-conscious materials such as reclaimed wood, bamboo, recycled steel, and sustainable concrete are revolutionizing construction. Innovative architectural designs prioritize passive heating and cooling techniques, reducing energy dependency. Properties that meet LEED and WELL certifications are now commanding premium prices and heightened demand in the market.

4. Vertical Gardens and Urban Green Spaces: Breathing Life into Cities Green spaces are no longer a luxury but a necessity in modern urban living. Vertical gardens, rooftop farms, and biophilic designs enhance air quality, promote biodiversity, and provide aesthetic appeal. These elements significantly increase property value while creating healthier, more vibrant living environments.

5. Sustainable Communities and Smart Cities: The Future of Real Estate Beyond individual buildings, entire communities are adopting sustainability. Smart cities feature renewable energy grids, eco-friendly public transportation, and advanced waste management systems. Mixed-use developments encourage walkability, reducing dependence on cars and promoting a more sustainable urban lifestyle.

6. Water Conservation and Rainwater Harvesting: Essential for Sustainability Water-efficient strategies are at the forefront of sustainable real estate. Developers are incorporating rainwater harvesting systems, greywater recycling, and drought-resistant landscaping to minimize waste. These innovations not only support environmental conservation but also cut utility costs, making properties more desirable.

7. Prefabrication and Modular Construction: A Game-Changer Innovative construction methods such as prefabrication and modular building are revolutionizing sustainability. These techniques reduce material waste, lower energy consumption, and significantly cut down construction time. Eco-friendly, cost-effective, and highly durable, these structures are becoming the preferred choice for developers worldwide.

8. Renewable Energy Integration: Powering the Future Solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal heating systems are becoming standard features in real estate projects. Governments and private sectors are heavily investing in green energy initiatives, offering incentives and subsidies to encourage adoption. Properties that integrate renewable energy sources are attracting eco-conscious buyers and delivering long-term cost savings.

9. Sustainable Financing and Green Mortgages: Unlocking Financial Benefits Banks and financial institutions are promoting eco-friendly investments through green mortgages and sustainability-linked loans. Investors and homebuyers can enjoy lower interest rates, tax benefits, and government incentives for purchasing energy-efficient properties. This financial shift is making green real estate more accessible and profitable than ever before.

10. The Rise of Eco-Conscious Consumer Demand: The New Market Trend Millennials and Gen Z are driving the demand for sustainable real estate, seeking homes equipped with green features and smart technology. Buyers now prioritize properties with energy-efficient certifications, smart automation, and minimal environmental impact. This shift in consumer preference is reshaping the industry, compelling developers to align with sustainable trends.

Conclusion Sustainable real estate is not just the future—it is the present. Developers, investors, and homebuyers who embrace green technologies, energy-efficient designs, and eco-conscious financing are positioning themselves for long-term success. The year 2025 marks the beginning of a green revolution in real estate, where sustainability and profitability go hand in hand. Now is the time to invest in a greener, smarter, and more lucrative future.
