The Wester Hailes Community Trust is led by the community, for the community. We are a collaborative community body supporting local-led decision making and development in the South West Edinburgh neighbourhood Wester Hailes. The Trust is led by and accountable to its local membership which consists of members and Trustees that hold board meetings on a regular basis. Members share their ideas for Wester Hailes and vote on what ideas get put into action. Since its registration in 2022, the main aim of the Trust has been to deliver the 36 projects for community improvement proposed by the Wester Hailes Local Place Plan - Scotland's inaugural community led planning document.
