Dates for online Orkney Matters 2 events have been announced

Dates for online Orkney Matters 2 events have been announced.  

Orkney Matters 2 follows on from Orkney Matters, a community engagement programme held in 2020-21 which saw partners from across the Orkney Partnership meet with communities across Orkney to identify key issues to these areas. 

It picks up the conversation where Orkney Matters 1 left off with everyone invited to take part and talk about what is most important to them and their community.  

Face to face events have taken place across all community council areas over the last five months 

The online events will take place on Microsoft Teams on 29 and 30 October from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.  The event on 29 October is aimed specifically at those living in the Mainland of Orkney, whereas the event on 30 October will be for those living in the isles 

To register for the mainland event, please go to www.orkney.gov.uk/OM2-Main. 

To register for the isles event go to www.orkney.gov.uk/OM2-Isles 

As part of the registration process, folk will be asked to indicate which community council area they are resident in and which subjects they are most interested in covering in their discussions – this will help with the groupings required for any breakout rooms.  

Registration will close on 23 October.  

The Orkney Partnership brings public agencies together with the community and business to deliver better, more joined-up public services and improve the quality of people’s lives. Members include Orkney Islands Council, NHS Orkney, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Highlands Islands Enterprise, and Voluntary Action Orkney. Many community and business groups are active in developing the Partnership’s Community Plan and in delivering it.
