Vision

The vision of the Community Planning Partnership is to improve the lives and prospects of everyone in South Lanarkshire making sure our communities are at the heart of community planning in South Lanarkshire. 

The Priorities and Values of the Community Planning Partnership are:

Added value and continuous improvement: We will work together to achieve more and become better at doing so.

Communication and empowerment: We will talk to and listen to each other in a meaningful way, helping individuals, families and communities to take positive action to improve their wellbeing.

Focused delivery: We will not lose sight of the fact that we need to make a positive difference. We will work creatively and build on what we are already doing, focusing our services and actions to meet future needs.

Openness and trust: We will do more together, from planning to delivery, ensuring openness and transparency in how we work; trusting each other to fulfil our roles; and working in harmony.

Embracing change: We work in a rapidly changing world. We are committed to making the most of this, shaping the direction of these changes to benefit local people and communities, taking innovative approaches and always questioning how and why we are doing things.

Clarity of purpose: We will attempt to avoid duplication of effort, developing agreed priorities to maximise our impact and focussing on the actions that will make the most difference.

More information about the actions that the Partnership will take to mitigate the current impact of poverty, deprivation and inequality can be found within the Community Plan 2022-2032.
