Glenbarr Community Development Association
Our Five Year Plan
GCDA’s practical direction for community assets, village improvement, local sustainability, participation and good governance from 2026 to 2030.
2026–2030
Ambition balanced with realism.
The plan guides the Board, staff, volunteers and partners. It is supported by annual workplans and budgets and is reviewed each year. Figures are planning amounts rather than guarantees of spending or funding.
Village enhancement
Deliver practical improvements to public areas, maintenance, drainage, access, planting and presentation.
Community Hub
Test land, options, need, cost, income, operation and funding before any major commitment or final design.
Homes, energy and sustainability
Help residents access suitable schemes, improve local evidence and work with housing and energy partners.
People, participation and skills
Support regular events, learning, volunteering and opportunities for people of different ages to take part.
Running GCDA well
Maintain sound finances, effective governance, clear communication, useful partnerships and annual review.
How progress will be checked
The plan is reviewed annually. Projects may move at different speeds, and major work must pass clear decision points before significant spending or delivery.
