Take part in free training for this online toolkit to help communities develop their own community-led action plans:
www.communitytoolkit.net
Community-led Action Plans are a way for communities to change and improve their local area by setting out what will be done, who will do it and how it will be carried out.
Launched in 2017, this simple and easy to navigate website takes you through every stage of developing your action plan and provides you with factsheets, templates and links to useful resources.
Training can be offered to introduce you to community-led action planning and go through the online toolkit, providing practical tips, hints and next steps.
Training lasts around 2.5 hours.

Argyll & Bute Community Planning
/The main aim of the Community Planning Partnership is to deliver the outcomes within the Argyll and Bute Outcomes Improvement Plan (ABOIP) which is refreshed every ten years.
The purpose of the ABOIP is to set out the needs and circumstances of citizens living in Argyll and Bute, identify the outcomes to which priority is to be given by the community planning partnership, with a view to improving these, and set out what success would look like in achieving the outcomes and how this will be measured and monitored.
The Community Planning Partnership has four geographically-based Area Community Planning Groups which oversee the implementation of the localised delivery plan for the respective area, encourage effective working across community planning partners at an area level, and act as a conduit to ensure that local priorities are met and local issues addressed, with community groups actively encouraged to participate.
The ABOIP covering the period 2024-2034 focusses on the priority outcomes of Transport Infrastructure, Housing and Community Wellbeing and follows an extensive community engagement exercise which attracted almost 2,000 responses.

The Place Standard Tool
/The Place Standard tool has been developed by the Scottish Government, NHS Health Scotland and Architecture and Design Scotland. It is designed to engage communities and develop an understanding of how people feel about the area in which they live which can then inform good decision making, allowing resources to be targeted to where they are most needed. The tool can be used by public sector agencies, the third sector and community groups and more information on the tool can be found at www.placestandard.scot.
The Place Standard tool was introduced to Argyll and Bute Community Planning Partnership at the meeting of the Full Partnership in Oban in November 2016 and in the February Area Community Planning Group meetings. The tool is also currently being used as part of the Local Development Plan 2 consultation and once the results of the consultation are known, we should be able to share the findings of the tool in relation to a specific postcode area.
