Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the prevention or relief of poverty','the advancement of education','the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended','any other purpose that may reasonably be regarded as analogous to any of the preceding purposes'

One of the principal future objectives of the company is to facilitate the building of a new community centre for the Soroba area. Land has been earmarked by Argyll and Bute Council for this project for which a feasibility study has been carried out, however, the company is facing great difficulties in raising finance for the project. As funding for a community centre is unlikely to become available in the short to medium term the company has switched its focus to more achievable projects in the short term with a view to providing support local community groups.

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'
