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 identify community needs
Develop projects which improve the lives of our Thurso community - socially, physically and emotionally
Strengthen, unite and promote the Thurso community by 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
