Thurso Community Development Trust formed in January 2018 with the purpose of making Thurso a better place to live, work and visit for all through community-led sustainable development. We adopted legal status as a SCIO in January 2019. Our community is defined constitutionally via postcode range to be within the boundary of the primary school catchment area of Thurso.

Our current strategic objectives devised via community consultation are to:

  • Proactively engage with the Thurso Community empowering them to take part in local decision making.

  • Work and engage with statutory and third sector organisations via Community Locality Planning to improve the lives of our community.

  • Promote community activities and community regeneration in Thurso.

  • Take a place based approach to designing, developing and delivering facilities and services in Thurso to identified community needs.

  • Develop projects which improve the lives of our Thurso Community socially, physically and emotionally.

  • Strengthen, unite and promote the Thurso Community, working with other community organisations and supporting them to realise their potential.

  • Create opportunities and diversification in our local economy so it strengthens and thrives.
