Our Values

Our core aim is to make Thurso a better place to live, work and visit through sustainable community led development. We mean what we say with that, every project, initiative and development has grown out of the expressed needs of our Thurso Community. We have a core set of values which underpin everything we do and how we connect with our community.

Our Community

Thurso is the most Northern Town on the Scottish Mainland. We are a community with many challenges being this far north but also having a big heart and tremendous sense of community spirit. Where there are challenges we work together to overcome them.

 

Our Work

We carry out a number of projects throughout Thurso, each one of them designed and developed to meet the expressed needs of our community. We carry out widespread and frequent community engagement work to discover these needs and have shaped each of our projects to be sustainable and increase resilience and empowerment in the community.

“Thurso Community Development Trust have achieved more for the town in the last 3 years than has been done in 30 years. The change in the Community is exciting, transformational and optimistic for the future.”
