Formartine Local Learning Community

Local Learning Community Partnerships (LLCPs) are made up of local organisations and community volunteers who share an interest in the community learning and development of the area. There are six of these partnerships across Aberdeenshire.

The partnerships feed into the strategic Aberdeenshire Learning Community Partnership (ALCP) who work towards agreed priorities. This is in line with local need and the requirements of the Scottish Government regulations for CLD.

Find out more about the ALCP by visiting the Aberdeenshire CLD plan 2021-2024 .

The ALCP priorities are the focus for gathering local data and intelligence and creating a response to meet the needs of communities. The aim of the LLCP is to work together to deliver programmes and activities which will have a positive impact on those living in the area.

The priorities

1. Improving health and wellbeing through community learning and development.
2. Improving life chances through community learning and development.
3. Building community capacity and resilience through community learning and development.
4. Strengthening workforce development, including with volunteers, through community learning and development.

The Operational Partnership for Formartine LLCP has agreed that its purpose is “Changing lives and supporting individuals, families and communities through learning, in Aberdeenshire”. The Operational Partnership will deliver and develop collaborative approaches to delivery of the current CLD Partnership Plan and identify needs to support the development of future priorities. This will be led by a range of partners at an operational level. Local CLD Partnerships will deliver on the outcomes of the CLD Plan, reporting regularly and represented at every strategic meeting
