02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
to help with community development, advance science ,cultural and heritage practices. To provide recreational facilities to the benefit of the community. To help provide adequate housing in the area. We work with local landowners to lobby for more social housing ( which is proving successful as two housing projects are underway). We liaise with the Care Home North Coast redesign team, Sutherland Spaceport and Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the Scottish Land Fund to help to encourage development and opportunity to our area. We host Community Leaders Forum meetings to allow local groups to swop ideas, concerns and news. We work together to improve the sports ground at our local school. We have secured funding for a development officer who is taking all our plans forward
