LOCHABER COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP


The Lochaber Community Partnership is one of ten local partnerships which have been established geographically across Highland to ensure that community planning can be delivered successfully at a local level.  The partnership is aware of the challenges that COVID has brought to the area and they are working together to provide support to all those affected by the pandemic.
 
We promise to actively listen to the community, to identify the local challenges as expressed by them and commit to taking action that will reduce disadvantage and inequality.   We will use our combined resources creatively to produce solutions that are meaningful and valued by the community we serve. 

The Lochaber Community Partnership is made up of 5 core agencies. These agencies are:-
  • The Highland Council
  • Police Scotland
  • Scottish Fire and Rescue Service
  • Highlands and Islands Enterprise
  • NHS Highland

Highlife Highland and the Highland Third Sector Interface represented by Voluntary Action Lochaber also play an important role in the partnership to achieve the following:

  1. Promoting equality, meeting diverse needs of people and communities
