Garioch 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.

Still in its infancy the Garioch LLCP has been well supported by a range of partners and continues to grow from strength to strength. Over the last year, a number of partners highlighted issues shared at the LLCP which have become projects between partners.
