Who we are
As an organisation, our aim is to serve the community of Rannoch & Tummel, and to deliver sustainable change as quickly as we possibly can!
Our current projects issue from community directives, what we deliver will be community owned, and future developments will be community driven.
If we can make Rannoch & Tummel into its best self for today’s residents, and set it up for future generations to take forward on an easy and innovative path, we will have succeeded in our goals.
