A new community led vision for Moray

During 2022/23, Moray Local Action Group aims to clearly articulate a vision for a community led wellbeing economy for Moray, as well as the implementation and learning strategies for bringing that vision to life - including through the delivery of its new fund, the Moray Local Action Fund. 

In 2021, the review of the Local Development Strategy (LDS) in 2021 identified gaps in relation to support for the natural environment and cultural development in Moray - as well as the need for a specific focus on business and community resilience and public wellbeing for a future strategy.

The review also identified “a real need for community animation and development funding in Moray”, which is seen as “having among the lowest resilience to economic change of all local authorities in Scotland”.

There are huge strengths within Moray, which can be unleashed through community led local development approaches to enable community led action to address these issues.
