Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of citizenship or community development'

We exist to deliver projects which bring benefit to the community of Callander & Kilmahog. We do this in a number of ways. In 2014, we secured ongoing funding to build a community hydroelectric scheme, which funds much of the organisation's activity. £70,000 per year of its revenue is given out as grants to local projects that bring benefit to the community. Tourism being a vital source of business for the town, we currently also operate a Visitor Information Centre, since the previous one was closed. In the same building, we also run a short-term let flat. In 2021, the Callander Local Place Plan was published, assembled in consultation with the community. It sets out a series of aims for the community which CCDT uses as its basis for identifying new projects, coordinated by its paid staff, including an Operations Manager and a Development Officer, and progressed by volunteers. One such project is Callander Connect - a central community hub for hire, information and connection.

Objectives: a) to provide, in the interests of social welfare, facilities for recreation and other leisure time activity available to the public at large within the Callander and surrounding area - as defined by the Callander Community Council boundaries (the Operating Area) - with a view to improving their conditions of life. b) to preserve, restore and improve the environment in the Operating Area through the provision , maintenance and lor improvement of public open space and other public amenities and other environmental and townscape regeneration projects, and in doing so, to seek wherever appropriate ( but subject to appropriate safeguards to ensure that the public benefit so arising clearly outweighs any private benefit thereby conferred on private landowners) to carry out works of reclamation, remediation, restoration and other operations to facilitate the use for those purposes of land whose use has been prevented or restricted because of previous use. c) To promote for public benefit the preservation (whether wholly or in part) of buildings and other structures of historic andlor architectural significance located within the Operating Area. d) to advance education and to promote training programmes and opportunities for the benefit of the residents of the Operating Area particularly among young people and the unemployed. e) to promote trade and industry for the benefit of the general public. f) to relieve poverty among the residents of the Operating Area. g) to promote, establish and operate other schemes of a charitable nature for the benefit of the community within the Operating Area.
