About Us
The Coalfield Communities Federation (CCF) is a representative body of communities within the Coalfield Area of East Ayrshire and acts as a key mechanism to ensure that the community is fully integrated in the activities of East Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership (CPP).
The CCF provides a forum through which the activities of the CPP can be made known and debated throughout the Coalfield Area as well as ensuring that partnership activity reflects local need. The CCF has representation on the CPP Board and assists to inform strategies and future programmes promoted and funded by the CPP. The CCF is also practically involved in the design and realisation of local projects and initiatives.
Aims
The CCF aims to ensure that all communities and marginalised groups are provided with every opportunity to become involved in social inclusion issues and encourages participation by:
- sharing information and promoting partnership working;
- consulting with communities through social inclusion initiatives; and
- using information in a constructive and positive way to represent the views of communities.
Objectives
- To fully and effectively participate in the activities of the CPP.
- To communicate and debate CCF and CPP activities to and within the wider Coalfield network.
- To create a vibrant community network and infrastructure.
- To ensure that CCF activity reflects local need.
The CCF quarterly newsletter, "The Glennie", provides a variety of information on the range of projects and initiatives operating within the Cumnock and Doon Valley and is distributed to every community throughout the Cumnock and Doon Valley via local council offices, libraries, commuity centres, doctor surgeries, shops, etc.
