TARBERT and Skipness Community Trust is urging the community to get behind them and show support as they struggle to hold the organisation together.
Acting chairman Robert McPhail is calling on residents to act before the annual general meeting or the trust will be dissolved.
The trust was formed mainly to provide an organisation to receive community benefit from the construction of a wind farm in the area but wind farm plans collapsed and the trust have since relied on donations and directors own pockets. During its existence the trust has brought public funding in excess of £80,000 into the Tarbert economy but this has all been project specific and none has been used for running the trust.
Several options have been identified to keep the trust afloat including more fundraising events. Mr McPhail added: ‘Please contact any trust director with your ideas or request to join us. Application forms are available in Ian Macintyre’s shop or from myself.’
