Scope

To engage with the local community to produce a Community Action Plan

Timescale

Sept 2021 – Apr 2022

Inveraray is a small town on the Scottish west coast that benefits from high levels of tourism and economic activity.

In 2021, its community council wanted to explore the community's aspirations and concerns in order to identify potential projects and guide community development.

Glic's plan included ten priority project proposals to strengthen business, infrastructure and the environment, health and wellbeing, and community pride.

Glic conducted primary and secondary research to understand what the community wants to accomplish and identify what is needed to deliver on these activities.

We reached over a quarter of the population through interviews, consultation and open days to form a representative voice across ages, social groups and professions.

Glic produced a Community Action Plan with ten priority project proposals that would strengthen business, infrastructure and the environment, health and wellbeing, and community pride in Inveraray.

With evidence of actionable proposals from the community’s objectives, the Plan will help to secure necessary resources, stakeholder commitment and funding over the next 5-10 years. Funding and significant work has since commenced for two projects: Inveraray Pier and Fyne Community Shed.

Our services

“We would recommend Glic as consultants and the Action Plan produced has been a positive and necessary publication supporting community developments and grant applications.”
