Your food projects and vending machines particularly, are such a great way to buy good quality local food. A model which would be great to see in communities across Wales.

Derek Walker
Future Generations Commissioner for Wales

“It was a pleasure to be back in Pembrokeshire after working with PLANED during the evidence gathering for the Recharging Rural Research. PLANED has truly evolved over the last 30 years moving into a proactive phase of adding value, sharing information and knowledge and developing powerful partnerships. All of this work adds up to a robust evidence base that can be drawn upon and help to create a resilient and sustainable future for rural communities in Pembrokeshire.”

Sarah Skerratt
Professor of Rural Society and Policy

“Community Land Trusts aim to provide genuine and affordable housing for local people, generating incomes for communities and membership of a CLT is available to anyone in the community. CLTs, in addition to providing affordable housing for local people, can also be a vehicle for taking on other projects too that are of benefit to the community such as post offices or community shops.”

Tom Chance, National CLT Network
Speaking about his meeting with Pembrokeshire CLT

“I was delighted to attend PLANED’s AGM to speak to and hear the views of so many local organisations that are making a difference in Pembrokeshire. The county has benefited substantially from EU funds, with PLANED being a good example of working in partnership locally to deliver a number of projects that the Welsh Government has supported through EU funding. I wish the organisation every success in the future.”

Mark Drakeford, MS
Former First Minister, Welsh Government

“PLANED has evolved over time, and has a long and proud history of rural regeneration and support for community-led development…. With an established base in Pembrokeshire for three decades, the expansion by the current team into a regional footprint including Carmarthenshire & Ceredigion is just amazing, in how they continue to innovate and support those communities.”
