Clyde Mission

Background

Clyde Mission was established in 2020 to use the Clyde to drive sustainable and inclusive growth for the city, the region and Scotland.

Clyde Mission provided over £13 million to 13 projects during 2020/21. These projects will help to create jobs, regenerate places and communities along the Clyde, and support efforts to reach net zero.

Migration

Leadership of the Clyde Mission migrated to the Glasgow City Region and Argyle and Bute on 28 August 2023 with the Scottish Government remaining a key partner to help boost the regional economy. Migration of the Clyde Mission is a prime example of the Scottish Government’s commitment to empowering and devolving more decision making to all of Scotland’s regions.

We will provide support by providing £26.5m investment: £1.5m towards a new masterplan and £25m for a Heat Decarbonisation Fund.

Glasgow City Region partners (Glasgow, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire, East Dunbartonshire, Inverclyde, South Lanarkshire, and North Lanarkshire Councils) and Argyll and Bute Council have taken over lead responsibility for the Clyde Mission. This responsibility includes delivering the masterplan and overseeing the Head Decarbonisation Fund. The partners are developing the governance structure for this work, plans for delivering these projects and wider aims for the Clyde Mission.
