Angus Rural Partnership (ARP) is a new organisation which builds on the positive legacy of the Angus LEADER Programme which ran from 2014 to 2020. When that programme ended, it was decided to form a new organisation in Angus to promote Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) which in turn supports vibrant, sustainable communities.ARP is registered with the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR) as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), charity number SC052069. It was registered as a charity in October 2022.ARP is a not-for-profit organisation and our annual budget is dependent on the Scottish Government's Rural Community-Led Local Development Fund. ARP is a grant-giving organisation which receives funding from the Scottish Government to distribute to local community groups for community-led projects. Our budget from Scottish Government for 2023/2024 was £269,977.05 (from the Rural Community-Led Local Development Fund). Of this, £264,825.99 was distributed across Angus and the remaining underspend is likely to go back to Scottish Government. (Our annual accounts are yet to be produced and sent to OSCR. These are due on 31 December 2024.)ARP has been formed to benefit the community of Angus and its environs with the specific aim of supporting community-led development and rural resilience.Our overarching Aims:- We will provide grants or other forms of assistance, financial or otherwise, to organisations/individuals that undertake activities, which further our vision.- We will promote knowledge transfer and sharing best practice in the delivery of sustainable rural development projects locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.- We will encourage effective partnership working.- We will offer networking opportunities (linking local community, statutory and private organisations) to engage in activities which will advance representative and participatory democracy.- We will advance rural economies by creating opportunities for local people to access local vocational skills, encourage business start-up and associated job creation and growth.- We will promote equality, diversity and inclusion.
