Community Futures

Community Futures is a programme of community action planning and community engagement designed by the Small Town and Rural Development Group (STAR) in 1998.

There are a number of examples in Scotland and Ireland of Community Futures in action. The National Park demonstrates a sustained, programme approach to implementing Community Futures.

The National Park Community Futures Programme offers support to communities through a commitment to developing local community Action Plans and by supporting community structures and organisations that can be partners in delivering initiatives and projects.

Community Futures was designed in the belief that investment in local community planning, involving people in the process and building and strengthening community organisations will contribute to sustainable community development and communities that can genuinely be partners in their own development.
