Wealthier and Fairer Renfrewshire Community Planning Group
The Wealthier and Fairer priority is about having a successful, sustainable economy that delivers wealth for Renfrewshire residents but also enables us to narrow the gap in the life opportunities that people have.

To do this, we focus on improving the growth and competitiveness of our local economy - both nationally and internationally – and ensure that our most disadvantaged people are helped to improve their skills and find work.

Smarter Renfrewshire Community Planning Group
The Smarter priority is about improving the level of education and skills of our residents.

As partners, we aim to ensure that children enjoy a healthy start to life, are ready to make the most of their education and maximise the opportunities available to them to reach their full potential of achievement, both academic and non-academic.

Greener Renfrewshire Community Planning Group
The Greener priority is about reducing the amount of waste that is generated and the amount of energy used, encouraging the reuse and recycling of products and the protection of the natural environment of Renfrewshire.

Healthier Renfrewshire Community Planning Group
The Healthier priority is about reducing the level of preventable deaths and ill health in Renfrewshire, both by improving access to services and levels of care and by providing people with the knowledge and encouragement to be as healthy as they can be.

Particular focus is given to working to reduce the number of people who smoke, the number of people exceeding safe drinking limits and the incidence of obesity amongst children and adults.
