Clackmannanshire Transformation Space

21/10/2026

Many thanks to the group of Community Voice members who helped us to shape the next Clackmannanshire Transformation Space Living Well Conversation which will take place on Wednesday 25th November from 6pm to 8pm at Devonvale Hall in Tillicoultry on the theme of ‘Community Transport’

To book your place register here: https://tinyurl.com/487488jn

Using a 'Cafe Conversation' format we will hear from some examples of good practice in the area of Community Transport before, in round table conversation format, we explore what is working well and what could be done better before agreeing actions and responsibility for actions to allow us to take things forward.

Living Well Conversations are open to all interested members of the public from across Clackmannanshire and will be attended by key people from public bodies as well as elected councillors from Clackmannanshire so a kind ask to our to share this post with people you know who live and/or work in Clackmannanshire.

. Why did you get involved in the CTS?

I had been doing lived experience panels with Resilience Learning Partnership (RLP) and had enjoyed that and was then introduced to Transformation Space from there. This was helpful, as when I went along to the first panel there were (friendly) faces that I knew in the room from RLP. The previous panels with RLP were helpful to me and gave me confidence to progress to the Transformation Space.

2. How have you found your experience of being involved as a part of Community Voice?

I have enjoyed my time with Community Voice. It is actually something that I now look forward to, knowing that my voice is going to be heard and knowing that I can play a part in influencing positive change in the community.

3. What are your hopes for the area from your work with Community Voice?

I feel that it s great that these opportunities exist to help make a difference in the community. I hope that things can get better. There are always ways that things can be improved and through getting people together who don’t always know each other and come from different backgrounds. Together working out how things could be better for people in the community.

The Transformation Space is all about putting Clackmannanshire’s communities in control. This includes ensuring that local young people with lived experience of the everyday challenges faced in the community will influence how public and partner funds are spent in Clackmannanshire.

An initial panel of 12 young people, reflecting a range of backgrounds and experiences, will begin work on the first funding theme of ‘Safe Spaces and Positive Activities’.

Supported by Clackmannanshire Councils Community Learning and Development team, The Transformation Space Youth Panel will work under the same guidelines as the Community Voice (Adult) Panel with a specific focus on issues pertaining to young people.

1. Why did you get involved in the Transformaton Space?

I was approached by someone who thought I would be interested. Initially I felt it was unusual to be asked but it is important that as a community we take as many opportunities as we can. If you have that chance, then take it. Don’t sit back and complain. Everyone wants to see their community thrive no matter who they are.

2. How have you found your experience of being involved as a part of Community Voice?

My experience is overwhelmingly positive. When we started, I didn’t know how things would go. Our opinion is not only making funding decisions but is helping to shape how things go forward with the Transformation Space – we are 'growing as we go'. I feel the same as many others - we feel heard! There is a chance to learn from this work and replicate in other areas.

3. What are your hopes for the area from your work with Community Voice?

I hope that taking this approach leads to a better life experience for many people. This is all about prevention rather than cure. When you see a horrible news report about Clacks being a bad place to stay, this work gives people hope. I hope that it continues to help people thrive through generations. If we get in upstream it will make a huge difference for the area in the long term.
