Strathdearn Community Charitable Trust — Community Survey

About this Survey
We want to understand the views, priorities and experiences of people in our community in relation to the Strathdearn Community Charitable Trust. Your feedback will help us understand what matters most locally and how the Trust can best support the community.

The survey should take approximately 5–10 minutes to complete. Responses will be used to inform the Trust’s future activities and priorities.

Background
Several local organisations work to support community life in Strathdearn. They each have different roles, responsibilities and legal powers. They are:

  • Strathdearn Community Council (SCC) – SCC was established under Highland Council as a body elected to represent their views and speak on behalf of residents on community matters.
  • Strathdearn Community Charitable Trust (SCCT) – is a body of volunteers established in 2006 to manage and distribute community benefit wind farm funds. [WG1] [WG2] Distribution of funds is undertaken for charitable purposes only, based on applications made by established groups and individuals resident within the Strathdearn area.
  • Strathdearn Community Developments Ltd. (SCD) – is a community-owned company limited by guarantee that owns assets on behalf of the community. It is funded from windfarm community benefit monies. In addition, it delivers community projects, facilities, and long-term development initiatives in line with the agreed Community Development Plan. Any adult residing within the IV13 postcode area (i.e. Strathdearn) is eligible to be an Ordinary Member at no cost.
  • White River Trading Ltd (WRT) – is the commercial arm of SCD that manages and operates community-owned assets on behalf of SCD. In doing so it carries out commercial trading and undertakes social activities that support community projects. All profits arising from WRT activities are fed back into SCD. SCD only has one shareholder – that being SCD.
