This First Event was supported by Aberdeen City Council, in discussion with Aberdeen Civic Forum, Aberdeen Community Council Forum and other community and civic groups.

It is important that we recognise, acknowledge and truly understand the value of so much of the good work that is already being carried out throughout the city and continue to build with the strength of the community, civic support and infrastructure.

From Community Councils, Communities of Interest, Community Groups, Faith Groups, Multi-Cultural Groups, Youth Council, Burgesses, Trades, Guilds, Community Council Forum, Civic Forum and many more.

These groups and many more promote the views and priorities of their communities and support us to actively participate in civic life by promoting and carrying out projects that make a real difference to people’s everyday lives.

We will be looking to develop a shared understanding of the city’s challenges and opportunities so that we can be as informed as possible, to develop shared partnership approaches to finding solutions for challenges and opportunities for prosperity.

All of which will be developed in a way that allows us to be as prosperous, as supported and successful as possible.
