Moray Council welcomes update on Community Learning and Development work
Moray Council has welcomed a positive update on the 2024-2027 Partnership Community Learning and Development (CLD) plan, highlighting the difference this work is making for people and communities across Moray.
The CLD plan supports people of all ages to learn new skills, take part in community life and improve wellbeing.
Across Moray, families and adults are already benefitting, with 68 learners taking part in the Learner Link Up Group, building confidence and friendships while also creating a new storybook about their experiences called, Learners Journey.
More than 250 adults have been supported through the Multiply Programme, helping improve everyday maths skills and boosting confidence for learning and work. In New Elgin, The Link now offers related activities seven days a week, including family sessions supported by local volunteers.
Partners are also working together through Learn North to improve access to professional learning resources across the region. In Forres and Lossiemouth, local groups now have Place Plans in place that give communities a stronger voice in shaping local priorities.
Chair of the Education, Children’s and Leisure Services Committee, Cllr Kathleen Robertson, said: “It’s great to see such positive progress halfway through the plan, with 71% of actions already on track. These projects help people gain confidence, learn new skills and feel more connected. We’ll keep working with partners to build on this progress and make sure learning opportunities are open to everyone across Moray.”
