November 2024 Trustee Meeting 

The Trustees met on Wednesday 13th November for the quarterly meeting.

We are pleased to say that work on the place plan priorities is ongoing and our Development Officer, James Hilder, has a number of irons in the fire. More new on outcomes as things progress.

Trustees were asked to agree changes to the constitution to conform to funders. This is still to be finalised.

A broad discussion was held on parameters for some of the work being undertaken with everyone contributing.

We are still awaiting confirmation from Aggregate Industries on the continuation of the community benefit payments, so unfortunately have not discussed the future of grant funding to local groups which is currently in abeyance

Community Development Officer

Ardgour Place Plan

We are delighted to be able to announce the appointment of James Hilder as part-time development officer with the Trust.

James will be working 21 hours a week from mid August.

We are very excited have a paid development officer to take forward projects decided on by you, as a Community, via the place plan.

The trustees met last week to discuss priorities and you will be hearing more on this in the near future. Some of the ideas will be passed to the Community Council to take forward and this process is underway.

James will be looking for volunteers from the community to assist with projects, with their local knowledge and interest so please get in touch at any point if you might be able to help.

This project was part funded by the Community regeneration Fund delivered by HC and the Scottish Government, Ardgour Community Council and the Ardgour Glensanda Development Trust.
