Our Strategic Plan – a report on our progress
In April 2018, we published our Strategic Plan for a Sustainable Future 2018–2023, setting out our ambitions for the years ahead and giving us a route map for planning our projects and services. It described our aims:
- To broaden and deepen our community engagement
- To work towards financial sustainability by growing the proportion of our income that comes from social enterprise, service level agreements, donations and sponsorship
- To deliver an ambitious programme of work, meeting the needs and aspirations of local people
In this plan, we said we would prioritise six key areas of work:
- The refurbishment and fit out of our premises in central Kirkcaldy as a new base for Greener Kirkcaldy and a new social enterprise project, the Community Food Hub
- Delivering energy advice to tackle fuel poverty and climate change
- Exploring the potential for community-scale renewable energy
- Waste reduction education
- Natural Play childcare
- Developing our greener travel work, including a potential active travel social enterprise
We reviewed the plan in the summer of 2020, looking back at our progress towards the goals we set in 2018, and setting out our new priorities and updated plans. We added the following new priorities for 2020-23:
- Redoubling our efforts to support our community to tackle the climate emergency
- Providing emergency support to vulnerable people during the pandemic
- Training and employability
- Town Centre regeneration
- New methods of community engagement
Our current Strategic Plan ends in 2023. We are now starting to form a plan for developing our next five-year plan. This will include consultations with our staff, volunteers, partners, members and the wider community. We will also do some environment scanning, analysis and scenario planning to identify challenges and opportunities.
As part of this, we have published a report, outlining our progress since reviewing our Strategic Plan in summer 2020.
