Community Led Planning
A Community Led Plan is a process that underpins a community’s vision for itself across all aspects of social, environmental and economic life.
It celebrates positive features and activities, highlights community needs and contains a detailed action plan to help the community meet those needs.
Community led plans are produced by and for communities, based on a detailed survey and consultation which involves the whole community, prompts action and influences others.
Good community plans, use the Community Led Planning Toolkit framework, are supported by external facilitators from the Rural Community Action Network and can demonstrate a robust evaluation process that ensures their quality.
ACRE have recently launched a Community Led Plan website - please visit www.acre.org.uk/communityledplanning_index.html for more information
