What is the Craigmillar Partnership?

  The Craigmillar Partnership is one of 48 Social Inclusion Partnerships set up by the government to help bring about a wide range of improvements that will benefit local people, employers and the city as a whole.

The idea behind the Partnership is to get people and agencies working together.

We have a Partnership Board that sets out the main priorities for the organisation. Day-to-day work is carried out through a series of sub groups and by our Support team who are based in the Partnership's offices on Niddrie Mains Road. A set of objectives underpin our work. They are firmly focused on delivering a bright future for the people who live and work in Craigmillar now, and those that will in the future.

Who are the Craigmillar Partnership Board?

The current members of the Board of Directors are:
  • Local councillor (chair)
  • City of Edinburgh Council
  • Four community representatives

What are the Craigmillar Partnership here to do?

We have a specific mission statement that sets out our main aim. This statement is: "By the year 2010 Craigmillar will be a self-sustaining, popular and valued community within Edinburgh."
Achieving that goal means Craigmillar will have:
  • A mixed and stable population living in good quality, attractive homes that meet a range of needs;
  • A safe and attractive environment;
  • An expanding local economy providing increased job opportunities;
  • A full range of educational, technological and learning resources;
  • A strong sense of community with widespread and effective community representation.

A great deal of progress has already been made. However, there is still more for the Craigmillar Partnership to do.
