02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our SCIO is the only community development trust covering the whole of our Community Council’s 1,000 sq km area, with around 1,585 permanent residents. Membership is open to any resident, and our Board of Trustees meets six times a year, with an Autumn AGM. Our aims are promoting sustainable development, recreational facilities, education/training, environmental conservation, heritage, poverty relief and connectivity. We liaise with Highland Council, HIE, renewables operators and other funders to take advantage of asset acquisition opportunities which benefit the community. As at 2026, our major charitable projects are a 5-acre Community Garden and Riverside Woodland in Spean Bridge and the re-development of the former Roy Bridge School to provide 7 new affordable housing units for rent and 2 cross-subsidizing holiday apartments.
