Our vision is “Empowered, thriving communities where people work together to nurture innovation” which we hope to achieve through our mission of “Fostering creative solutions to provide community benefit and encourage a sustainable and vibrant Linlithgow”.

Our main priorities are:

• Driving Environmental Initiatives: Encouraging waste reduction, resource reuse, and recycling within the community; promoting energy efficiency, encouraging sustainable transportation options, developing friendly green spaces, supporting local food production.

Our staff and volunteers are all local people focusing on projects prioritised by local people. By coming together, we want to access the resources needed to help develop strong, inclusive and meaningful projects that give the community a sense of purpose and value and build confidence that they can take it into all areas of their lives.
