Community planning

Scottish Borders Community Planning Partnership

How is our Community Planning Partnership organised?

We have a simple structure comprising of:

The Strategic Board sets the vision and strategic direction, while the Delivery Board manages operational functions and oversees the implementation of the Community Plan and Locality Plans.

The four theme groups are:

  • poverty
  • learning, skills and economy
  • good health and wellbeing
  • place, community and connectivity

The groups are responsible for identifying actions and integrating Community Plan outcomes into work streams.

This framework ensures effective collaboration and accountability among various partners. You can find out more in the Operating and Governance Framework (PDF 912kb).

Our partners

Our partners include both statutory and non-statutory organisations that we work closely with in the Scottish Borders. Their strategic plans are influenced by the priorities coming through our partnership discussions. These have a vital contribution to make to the quality of life in the Borders.
