## Activities

**Activities:** &#x27;It carries out activities or services itself&#x27;

**Purposes:** &#x27;the advancement of citizenship or community development&#x27;

**What the charity does:** The NLCA aims to improve how those who live, work, or visit experience this part of Scotland.  To this end we have created new facilities such as a multi-table picnic site overlooking Loch Linhe and various community garden spaces including a small orchard, rose beds, and large number of planters spread across the area. We have worked with UHI to create a Geotourist audio tour featuring local stories, together with an interactive Google map.  We have also taken a small amount of land into community ownership when appropriate. we now maintain a small disused cemetery next to the main road and have a 200-year old barn in Inchree which we hope to convert into a heritage centre. These have in turn supported projects involving local artists and community, e.g. to create a large mosaic at the entrance to the cemetery.   We also organise community events as and when we can. recently we hosted several evening &#x27;gatherings&#x27; with food and live music &amp; readings.

**Objectives:** The organisation&#x27;s purposes are:  The advancement of citizenship or community development (including rural or urban regeneration and the promotion of civic responsibility, volunteering, the voluntary sector or the effectiveness or efficiency of charities) by making Nether Lochaber a better place to live work and visit through, but not limited to, the provision of flower planters throughout the area, maintained by volunteers. organise volunteers to clean and tidy the area on a regular basis. provide and maintain facilities such as information boards, benches, community orchards and picnic sites for the use of locals and visitors alike.
