Updates

At the June CAP meeting, the group reflected on the recent Pitch Lab, finalised the draft CAP document following public feedback, and agreed plans for its printing and distribution. 

Members also discussed arrangements for the upcoming Aberdour SOUP event, including roles, logistics, and promotion.

Aberdour SOUP  (the Big Community Pitch) is a community funding event organised by the CAP group as part of the Aberdour Festival.

 
Local groups and residents will pitch ideas that could make a positive difference in the village. The audience then votes for the projects they would most like to receive a share of the £6,000 community fund.

Anyone with a suitable idea can apply, and a free Pitch Lab workshop will help participants develop their project and prepare for the event.

Aberdour SOUP: Monday 3rd August
Pitch Lab: Saturday 27h June

The CAP group met on the 28th May to review and approve the first draft of the CAP document. The group agreed to share the draft with the larger community and the school, in order to receive feedback before finalising the document before the end of July.

A form is available to provide feedback on the draft and a few paper copies will be printed and distributed around the village for resident who cannot access the digital format. 

The meeting focused on progress updates for the Community Action Plan, including preparations for the upcoming Fife Council meeting, development of the draft CAP document, plans for school engagement activities, and ideas for a community pitch event to support quick-win projects. 

Discussions also covered future public consultation and the role of local groups and stakeholders in delivering projects.

On the 31st March, the CAP group meeting focused on reviewing final survey findings, shaping the Community Action Plan, planning community engagement (including the Aberdour Festival event), and agreeing approaches to funding and governance.

We are coming towards the end of the CAP process, which will result in a final document with all our findings and suggested actions.

We want to launch the CAP final document during the Aberdour Festival, with an engaging event - we need your help!

Planning an event is no simple matter, so join us if you are interested in helping us with the organisation of this event.

The first meeting to discuss the event is on Friday 27th March at 11:30am at the Curator, High Street, Aberdour. Everyone is welcome!

Fife Council has provided the most updated Aberdour Community Council census profile, using data published as a result of the 2022 Scotland Census.
The data will be included in the final draft of the Community Action Plan.

We will attend the next Community Council meeting to update the community and show the new website.

Join us there if you want to learn more about Aberdour CAP, share your thoughts or ask questions about what we are doing.

The meeting will be next Wednesday 4th March from 7:30pm at the Institute, Shore Road. Everyone is invited!

The CAP group met on the 24th February to discuss governance issues, project progress, and next steps for developing the Aberdour Community Action Plan.
