02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
As a Development Trust we are a community owned and led organisation which uses a combination of enterprise and creativity to improve the quality of life for people living in the Findochty and Buckie [FAB] area. We support people in our community to come together to address local issues through collaboration and partnership working. Our goal is to enable social, economic and environmental renewal of our locality through capitalising on funding opportunities, income generation from trading for social purpose, and community ownership of buildings and land. In common with other development trusts in Scotland, we always aim to do this in ways which are ecologically sound, economically viable and socially just. All of our intended activities are community led and as such will vary over time according to the needs of local people and their priorities identified through ongoing community engagement and research.
