What the charity exists to do

Kyle & Lochalsh Community Trust exists to benefit the local community by managing land, assets and services that support wellbeing, economic resilience and environmental stewardship. We own and care for The Plock, a coastal amenity used for recreation, education and biodiversity, and we operate essential community facilities including public toilets, showers and laundry services. We deliver projects that create local opportunities, including skills training, heritage and environmental education, and community-led housing. We work in partnership with local people and organisations to develop sustainable initiatives, improve access to services, and ensure that assets are used for long-term community benefit.
