ASSYNT DEVELOPMENT TRUST
AT A GLANCE
Assynt Development Trust Limited was originally founded in the 1950’s as the Assynt Amenities Committee changing its name in 1975 to Assynt Community Association (ACA) and becoming a registered charity.
Following the Mission closure in 2009 and its redevelopment in 2010-11 ACA became a limited company and acquired the adjacent Culag Park. The Mission refurbishment was possible with grants from the Big Lottery Fund and Highlands and Islands Enterprise utilising a new fifty year lease from Highland Council.
In 2018 the company name was changed to Assynt Development Trust Limited; the company principally benefits the community of the parish of Assynt which matches the Assynt Community Council area.
In 2021 by a Community Asset Transfer from Highland Council ADT acquired the freehold of the land under the Mission.
