Durness Community Group
Objectives

Here is what we do, and why we exist.
 
The Durness Community Group is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).
It was previously a charitable company and known as the Durness Development Group from September 2001 before converting to a SCIO in December 2020. The objectives for the new entity remain largely as before but the reporting and accounting obligations are more appropriate for a small charitable group.
The objectives can be summarised as:
  • to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Durness by associating with local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort so that their conditions of life may be improved
  • to relieve poverty among residents
  • to advance education and promote training programmes and opportunities, particularly among young people and the unemployed
  • to protect/preserve the environment
  • to promote trade and industry
  • to provide or assist in the provision of housing
  • to promote, establish and operate other schemes for the benefit of the community
  • to manage community land and associated assets for the benefit of the community
