Wester Loch Ewe Trust, established in 2015, led the community asset transfer of the former Old School and is developing it as a sustainable community hub in a remote Highland area. Our aim is to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and strengthen community resilience by providing inclusive activities, services, and opportunities shaped through ongoing local consultation.

Our organisation supports children, young people and families across Golspie and the surrounding rural villages, where isolation, low income and limited access to services affect wellbeing and opportunities. We provide safe, inclusive spaces where young people can build confidence, develop skills and feel connected to their community.
