“"Community Enterprise did a great job.
They achieved a good level of understanding of our organisation very quickly
and were able to guide our team to rethink our organisational strategy
and plan for the future."

The challenge
The Anstruther Improvements Association (AIA) aims to build a thriving and resilient community, improving Anstruther for all. It was founded in 1950 and since then has continued to be directed, organised and delivered by the community for the community, with a long history of supporting projects to improve Anstruther and the lives of its residents and those who work there.
The AIA has been managing Dreel Halls since January 2014 - and was looking for opportunities to make a difference and to make sure that Dreel Halls became increasingly relevant to the lives of people in Anstruther.
The AIA Board was, at the time, supported by a part time Development Worker.
How we helped
Through Accelerate, we facilitated a strategic away day to support the AIA Board in planning forthcoming priorities, action and funding.
The result
Clear strategic direction identified for the organisation
Improved confidence and skills for trustees
Thanks to Accelerate, Anstruther Improvements Association now have a clear strategic direction for their organisation.
