These booklets are part of a series produced by the Local Rural Partnerships for communities in Aberdeenshire as an initiative is sponsored by Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership.   The aim is to provide community action plans in an attractive, easy to read, professionally printed format.

The development of a Community Action Plan (CAP) is through a process of engagement which is used to establish the needs and aspirations of local people to improve services and facilities within their own community. It has great potential to empower communities to take ownership of issues and take them forward. It also enables them to complement and inform the planning that statutory agencies undertake.

KDP work with communities of all sizes on these plans, adapting the process and timescale according to the needs of the community. 

Contact us if you would like to discuss a Community Action Plan for your community.
