02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
One of the principal future objectives of the company is to facilitate the building of a new community centre for the Soroba area. Land has been earmarked by Argyll and Bute Council for this project for which a feasibility study has been carried out, however, the company is facing great difficulties in raising finance for the project. As funding for a community centre is unlikely to become available in the short to medium term the company has switched its focus to more achievable projects in the short term with a view to providing support local community groups.
