The Carrick Community Councils' Forum (CCCF) was established in July 2006. As the name suggests, it is a Forum for representatives from the Community Councils' of the Carrick area. Its role is to work with and on behalf of local communities to share information and knowledge of what is going on and to contribute to improvements in the area.

To fulfil its role, the CCCF has adopted the following objectives:

To contribute to the relief of poverty in South Ayrshire
To promote the Economic, Cultural, Environmental and Social well-being of the Carrick area of South Ayrshire
To raise funds by means of events, donations, legacies, grants or other methods
To raise awareness of issues affecting the communities of Carrick by consulting, liaising and gathering views of those communities

The aspirations of the CCCF are captured in their vision strategy of Carrick as "The best place to live, work, visit and play"

* * * The Forum wants to know your views about Carrick * * *

By producing and implementing this strategy, the CCCF will achieve a more co-ordinated and planned approach to service delivery, community support and the future development of the whole of Carrick. Creating this bigger picture will help to empower individual local communities by providing a context in which their aspirations will be more fundable and more achievable. * * * Most importantly, the CCCF is about Action!

The approach adopted by the CCCF is to address six priority aims and use this strategy to identify and prioritise objectives against each Sunset over Ailsa Craig aim. The Forum, and individual Community Councils, will then map out and implement specific actions to help to achieve each objective. Key elements of the Forum ongoing role will be to:

Assist individual CCs to identify and implement actions
Implement actions best taken at the CCCF level
Raise awareness amongst other stakeholders of the strategy and the actions being implemented
Monitor progress
Facilitate evaluations
Produce a revised action plan taking account of the findings of the evaluation

The CCCF recognises that it cannot implement the strategy in a vacuum. A key test of the effectiveness of the Forum, and a key factor in the success of this Strategy, will be the extent to which the Forum can influence the policies and actions of key stakeholders, including South Ayrshire Council.
