Community & Sustainable Development

Supporting Communities

Every community has active groups of people and individuals who can come together through a Community Forum - local councillors, representatives of local organisations e.g. Churches and Chapels, Round Table, Merched y Wawr, Young Farmers Clubs. PLANED officers will help you to develop or review your Local Action Plan.

Our aim is to help as many communities as possible to identify opportunities and implement lasting projects and we have some funds to help you.

LEADER+ - Creating a Culture of Entrepreneurship

PLANED's LEADER+ programme aims to strengthen the local economy by helping communities to identify new enterprise opportunities based on local resources - the people themselves, their natural and cultural heritage and social and economic needs. To this end PLANED is establishing fifteen Area Community Enterprise Groups across the County, helping local people to work through a process that will result in the development of an Entrepreneurship Action Plan. The aim of which is to identify new products and services which build upon the strengths of each area and which are sustainable for the future. PLANED will support local people with the implementation of the projects included in the plan - providing staff time, expertise, resources and funding - to turn ideas into action.

Agriculture Agriculture Agriculture

Through its role as a facilitator for Farming Connect, PLANED is acting as the link between Farming Connect and the Farming Community locally, assisting farmers with access to Farming Connect services and everyday inquiries. Building on SPARC's highly valued Whole Farm Support Scheme, PLANED will continue to support farming families in Pembrokeshire in identifying new farm based and off-farm opportunities, particularly linked to sustainable agriculture.

Dovecote Opening Tourism

PLANED aims to help develop sustainable TOURISM opportunities, with the emphasis on year-round, niche tourism bringing together three key aspects - people, their environment and heritage, and the development of the economy.

Valuing the Environment

This initiative provides everyone with the opportunity to become more involved with protecting and enhancing Pembrokeshire's priceless environment for future generations.
