EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES

Working with communities across Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire & Ceredigion to support delivery locally, regionally and nationally

Our passion is working with communities to build on their strengths. We promote and use new and innovative ways of engaging and supporting communities to help make a sustainable future.

Embracing the future and building on the past we maximise opportunities for communities across the county and wider. We do this by working with partners locally, regionally and nationally, to deliver for our people, communities and businesses.

PLANED is proud to have been the home of the LEADER fund in Pembrokeshire.

Your food projects and vending machines particularly, are such a great way to buy good quality local food. A model which would be great to see in communities across Wales.

Derek Walker
Future Generations Commissioner for Wales

“It was a pleasure to be back in Pembrokeshire after working with PLANED during the evidence gathering for the Recharging Rural Research. PLANED has truly evolved over the last 30 years moving into a proactive phase of adding value, sharing information and knowledge and developing powerful partnerships. All of this work adds up to a robust evidence base that can be drawn upon and help to create a resilient and sustainable future for rural communities in Pembrokeshire.”

Professor of Rural Society and Policy

“Community Land Trusts aim to provide genuine and affordable housing for local people, generating incomes for communities and membership of a CLT is available to anyone in the community. CLTs, in addition to providing affordable housing for local people, can also be a vehicle for taking on other projects too that are of benefit to the community such as post offices or community shops.”

Tom Chance, National CLT Network
Speaking about his meeting with Pembrokeshire CLT

“I was delighted to attend PLANED’s AGM to speak to and hear the views of so many local organisations that are making a difference in Pembrokeshire. The county has benefited substantially from EU funds, with PLANED being a good example of working in partnership locally to deliver a number of projects that the Welsh Government has supported through EU funding. I wish the organisation every success in the future.”

Mark Drakeford, MS
First Minister, Welsh Government

“PLANED has evolved over time, and has a long and proud history of rural regeneration and support for community-led development…. With an established base in Pembrokeshire for three decades, the expansion by the current team into a regional footprint including Carmarthenshire & Ceredigion is just amazing, in how they continue to innovate and support those communities.”
