Welcome to the website of Ullapool Community Trust. We are a development trust that is based in in the village of Ullapool in the North West Highlands of Scotland. Our objective is to -
Make the Ullapool area a more self-reliant, sustainable and self-sufficient community, and a place where people of all ages and backgrounds, and future generation will be able to achieve their potential and enjoy a satisfying quality of life.
Ullapool is a small and picturesque fishing village that is situated on the banks of Lochbroom and is around 60 miles from Inverness, the largest city in the Highlands. It was designed by Thomas Telford and built by the British Fisheries Society in 1788 as a herring port. While the harbour is still active tourism has come to play a key role in the local economy. Ullapool and the outlying communities are fragile due to their rural location and associated factors including, amongst others, high petrol prices, lack of mains gas, limited public transport and high proportions of seasonal employment and holiday homes.
UCT are a community-led organisation that, through discussions with local people and groups, identify pressing local economic, social and environmental concerns and develop projects to address the issues and benefit the community. More information on UCT’s history and objectives are available here while information on completed and ongoing projects is also available. The Trusts Memorandum and Articles are also available to download which list it’s aims and objectives
This site also includes information on the UCT board of directors and staff as well as up to date news about the Trust. There is also apublications section which includes meeting reports and minutes, consultations findings and newsletters in addition to the UCT Mem and Arts.
We are an organisation that is owned and driven by our members and it is therefore vital that we have a stable and engaged membership to help us be effective in addressing local issues. Please go to the join us section for more details on how to join UCT and the benefits of being member.
