02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

We exist to deliver projects which bring benefit to the community of Callander & Kilmahog. We do this in a number of ways. In 2014, we secured ongoing funding to build a community hydroelectric scheme, which funds much of the organisation's activity. £70,000 per year of its revenue is given out as grants to local projects that bring benefit to the community. Tourism being a vital source of business for the town, we currently also operate a Visitor Information Centre, since the previous one was closed. In the same building, we also run a short-term let flat. In 2021, the Callander Local Place Plan was published, assembled in consultation with the community. It sets out a series of aims for the community which CCDT uses as its basis for identifying new projects, coordinated by its paid staff, including an Operations Manager and a Development Officer, and progressed by volunteers. One such project is Callander Connect - a central community hub for hire, information and connection.
