Representation

Developing and running projects is not the only way to make a difference to the quality of life of your community.   Community organisations also seek to achieve improvements and change for the better through trying to influence others and in particular the public sector.   This may be about for example seeking improvements in roads and the environment or lobbying for the retention or improvement of services in care, health and education, or seeking the development of community facilities.  

This requires a whole additional set of skills in learning how to work with the public sector, learning how to work with other communities that might share the same concerns as you, and learning how to make effective representation. In Stirling, much of this type of work is done through Area Community Planning Forums.
