Plan to improve lives in Clackmannanshire approved

The Wellbeing Local Outcomes Improvement Plan (LOIP) 2024/2034 by the Clackmannanshire Alliance was agreed on October 3.

The plan outlines a vision for the area over the next decade, detailing the priorities of the Clackmannanshire Alliance and the changes they want to see by 2034.

The alliance brings together the key organisations that can make a difference in people’s lives.

Partners who worked together to develop the plan include Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Forth Valley, Scottish Enterprise, University of Stirling, Clackmannanshire Third Sector Interface, and Clackmannanshire Council.

A central theme of the plan is a commitment to tackling local inequalities through the creation of a wellbeing economy.

The plan focuses on a small number of key issues that can make the greatest impact in Clackmannanshire, aligning resources on priorities that will drive long-term sustainable improvement.

The plan also recognises the positive aspects of life in Clackmannanshire and aims to build on a culture of continuous improvement.

Cllr Ellen Forson, chair of Clackmannanshire Alliance, said: "This plan has been developed by the Alliance to set out our ambitions for change in Clackmannanshire over the next decade.

"It details our combined commitment to reduce inequality and our renewed focus to work together to secure better outcomes for our people and businesses through a wellbeing economy.

“We know that the best solutions and the best ideas often come from local communities, local businesses and our third sector, and those communities lie at the heart of this plan and our wellbeing aspirations for Clackmannanshire.

"We are committed to working alongside them to secure improved outcomes for Clackmannanshire over the next decade and this plan sets out the way that we will meet this commitment, creating a positive wellbeing economic legacy and a more equal society which provides a better quality of life for everyone."
