02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We maintain the old North Kessock Pier to keep it open and available as a free facility for launching and retrieving boats. Volunteers clean and paint the pier regularly to ensure safety of boat users. As well as general users, it is also used by the North Kessock Rowing Club to launch their skiff. Other groups making use of it include the organisers of the annual Kessock Swim. The general public also use it as a spot from which to enjoy the view and possibly see dolphins and other wildlife.
