STEERING GROUP
The Conon Bridge Community Trust was born on Thursday 27 June 2024. The Group of invited individuals agreed to the formation of a Trust and will now work to get the views of all residents in Conon Bridge, including defining the Area of Benefit.
Decide the boundary of the Trust - the Area of Benefit - is more difficult than it might seem. Some of the options are outlined below.
Community Engagement
We will actively engage with the local community to obtain community support for the establishment of the Trust. It is recognised that without this, the Trust will not be formed.
Educational Travel
Through our travel activities, we will promote sustainability and raise awareness about environmental issues.

Sustainability Projects
The Trust will spearhead sustainability projects that aim to reduce carbon footprint and promote eco-friendly practices. One of the principal objectives will be the reclamation of the 6.2 acres of Contaminated Land adjacent to the popular salmon fishing River Conon.
THE STEERING GROUP
The currently informal Group comprises of 9 individuals in Conon Bridge - who have agreed to participate in determining the way forward to establish a Trust.
The individuals were asked by John Bruce, Chair of the Community Council to help with the formation of the Trust.
The Steering Group Members are
John Bruce, CB Community Council
David Burt, Conon Bridge & Maryburgh Cycle Club
Hazel Bushell - Former Treasurer CBCC and SWI
Seumus Connel-Skinner - Conon Community Group
John Gilmour - CB Community Council
Ali Matheson - Conon Amenities Assoc.
Stephen MacDonald - Ferintosh Church
Angelika von Calle - Windsor Place Residents Association
David Whiteford - Conon Hotel
The List above is not definitive. If any Conon Resident feels they have particular skills to help with the formation of the Trust, please let us know, using the email address below.
What Type of Trust
A Company; A Charity or Shareholder owned.
The Steering Group has recommended that the Trust should be formed as
A Company limited by guarantee (often referred to as a CLG, which may or may not have charitable status).
It is hoped that the Conon Bridge Community Trust will focus on community ventures and travel activities aimed at promoting environmental awareness and protection. We believe in the power of collective action to create a positive impact on, and improve, Conon Bridge.
AREA OF BENEFIT
The Area of Benefit of a Trust is the geographical area within which the Trust can operate. The Steering Group would hope to get this right.
The Options are the Community Council area, as shown to the right; Parliamentary Polling District CS08D (maybe including part of Ferintosh CC) or defined postcodes.
Double click on the CC Map to the right to see the Options.
ALL RESIDENTS IN THE POTENTIAL AREA OF BENEFIT WILL BE CONSULTED FOR THEIR VIEWS.
