That is great work on safeguarding all those jobs, which is critical for your part of the country.
How is the preventative approach going in the Highlands and Islands?

Thank you very much for that. I am interested in your perspectives on prevention and the idea of creating opportunities.
We will move on to theme 5, which is about measuring impact.

That sounds like a great and dynamic process of discovering what is on the ground and then feeding that into your strategy.
I will move on to the next theme, which is the role of the third sector in communities, and that will be led by Paul McLennan.

We will move on to our next theme, which is LOIPs and locality plans. I have a couple of questions. The first one is around alignment, and the second one is around prevention. Your answers are great, and we really want to hear from you, but in the interests of time, I would be grateful if you could keep them as succinct as possible.
I will direct the first question to Derek Shaw, then to everybody else. We have heard that LOIPs are the foundation of community planning. I would be interested to hear how your organisation aligns your priorities with those in the LOIPs and the locality plans. At times, are there conflicts between those plans and your organisational priorities?

Our next theme, which has already been mentioned a little, is LOIPs. Mark McAteer talked about the dynamic between the LOIPs. It is great that he raised that and talked about what is going on on the ground.
Valerie, how does your organisation align its priorities with those in the LOIPs and locality plans? You may have touched on this, too, but do you find that there might be a conflict with your organisational priorities? How would you work with that?
