The Orkney Community Planning Partnership has published its Draft Orkney Community Wealth Building (CWB) Action Plan for public consultation and is inviting comments and submissions from individuals, community groups, businesses, and stakeholders across the county.
The Action Plan sets out a bold new approach to local economic development, aiming to ensure that the wealth generated in Orkney is retained and benefits the people who live here. It builds on Orkney’s long tradition of community action and local enterprise, outlining practical actions. The delivery of community wealth building is part of the partnership’s Orkney Community Plan 2025/30. You can find a copy of the Orkney Community Plan on the partnership's site on orkneycommunities.co.uk.
Submissions can be made using this online form, by email to community.planning@orkney.gov.uk, or by post to Orkney Community Planning Partnership, c/o OIC, School Place, Orkney KW15 1NY.
The consultation is open until 10.00am, Monday 16 June 2025.
The partnership wants the help of the third sector to improve the draft plan. To discuss the draft or invite someone from the Community Planning Partnership to speak to your organisation, please email george.vickers@orkney.gov.uk.
