Nairn Improvement Community Enterprise (NICE)

Nairn Improvement Community Enterprise (NICE) was established to make the town a better place to live, work and visit.

They:

• Speak up for the community

• Lead local improvement projects

• Help decide how Nairn should develop in the future

• Bring local people together to agree what Nairn needs (better facilities, greener spaces, improved town centre, etc.).

• Work with the council and funders to turn those ideas into real projects.

• Can apply for funding and sometimes take charge of buildings or land so they stay in community use rather than being sold off.

• Created a community plan that sets out what people want for Nairn over the next 10–20 years.

• Lead projects like improving public toilets, riverside areas, and open spaces.

• Make sure changes in the town are shaped by local voices, not just outside developers or distant decision-makers.

• It’s run by a volunteer board of local people and anyone from the area can usually join as a member and have a say.
