The Auchtertool Community Trust (ACT) was set up in 2017 to manage the Community Benefit payment from Clentrie Windfarm.
The former Teil (restaurant and bar) was up for sale, and investment was required to ensure its future viability. Support was also required to develop a Feasibility Study and Business Plan for a Stage 2 application for the Scottish Land Fund.
We conducted extensive research and community consultation to produce a Feasibility Study before moving on to the development of a Business Plan to support a Stage 2 bid to the Scottish Land Fund to acquire the asset. We also supported the Trust to think through their options for governance and management of the asset.
Community Enterprise conducted a community consultation, supported the trust to look at governance options and management of the asset and finally produced a Business Plan for a Stage 2 bid to the Scottish Land Fund.
"Community Enterprise was more than helpful throughout the process, and this Trust thoroughly recommends CE to other interested groups."
