Angus Rural Partnership

 

Angus is an area of approximately 842 square miles which includes seaside towns and the national/international commercial harbour of Montrose. The area also has the Strathmore valley which includes fertile agricultural land and market towns as well as the scenic yet 'fragile' glens to the north which are in the Cairngorms National Park.

Angus Rural Partnership (ARP) is a new organisation which builds on the positive legacy of the Angus LEADER Programme which ran from 2014 to 2020. When that programme ended, it was decided to form a new organisation in Angus to promote Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) which in turn supports vibrant, sustainable communities.

ARP is registered with the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR) as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), charity number SC052069. It was registered as a charity in October 2022

Our Vision

The ARP has been formed to benefit the community of Angus and its environs with the specific aim of supporting community led development and rural resilience.

Our Aims

  • We will provide grants or other forms of assistance, financial or otherwise, to organisations/individuals that undertake activities, which further our vision.
  • We will promote knowledge transfer and sharing best practice in the delivery of sustainable rural development projects locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
  • We will encourage effective partnership working.
  • We will offer networking opportunities (linking local community, statutory and private organisations) to engage in activities which will advance representative and participatory democracy.
  • We will advance rural economies by creating opportunities for local people to access local vocational skills, encourage business start-up and associated job creation and growth.
  • We will promote inclusion, equality and diversity.
