We now have Staff operating across three organisations, those working solely on Thurso Community Development Trust projects, those working on Socially Growing through Thurso Community Benefit Society and the staff who are employed on the North Highlands & Islands Climate Hub. All of us while working on differing projects and organisations are very fully part of the Thurso Community Development Trust family.
