Glen Urquhart Rural Community Association (GURCA) is a development trust, led by a Board of elected Trustees and has over 400 members. Since the 1940s, GURCA is where people have shared ideas to build on what we have around us in Glen Urquhart. GURCA works together on projects that bring positive change. As a result of these projects GURCA has acquired a number of assets and looks after or develops these assets on behalf of the community. The Board of Trustees identify where grant funding is required and then undertake the work required to apply for these grants. Once the grant applications are successful the Trustees deliver the projects to achieve the outcomes required to meet the grant criteria.
