Could you help shape the future of communities in Skye and Lochalsh?

We're looking for new Trustees to join the SLCVO Board and help guide our work supporting communities, community groups and charities across Skye and Lochalsh.

We're particularly keen to hear from people with an interest in:
✅ Giving communities a voice and shaping positive change
✅ Supporting better health and social care
✅ Representing local culture, heritage and the arts
✅ Keeping community spaces and village halls at the heart of local life

You don't need previous board experience. Full training and support are provided, and meetings are held every two months, with options to attend online or in person.

This is a great opportunity to use your skills and experience to make a difference locally, meet new people, and help strengthen communities across Skye and Lochalsh.

We have been busy in the community woodland in the past few weeks with over 1000 native trees planted already! They were supplied and planted by Trees for Life and their amazing volunteers.

We have also been busy removing the invasive non-native Sitka Spruce trees that have been re-seeding across the community woodland. They have become so large that they were now producing seed themselves! They had also grown way beyond what our dedicated volunteers could fell, so we have had professional tree surgeons in to safely bring them down, funded by the Nature Restoration Fund. If you walk on the Rathad na Cloinne path you will notice there is a lot more light now! This will encourage the natural regeneration of the native Birch, Alder, Rowan and Willow that are slowly spreading up the hill.

Community Woodland Restoration Officer Phil is busy making a volunteer and event schedule for the winter, which will include lots of practical work and tree planting! If you aren’t on the mailing list and would like to join, please email him at [email protected]

This is a brilliant opportunity for the south end to have the recreational facilities our community needs for the future.

We’re delighted to have had the support of Highland Council’s business loan scheme, Highland Opportunity (Investments) Limited, which has helped us continue to develop our community-owned campsite.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created and hugely grateful to the brilliant team we have at Camping Skye for all their hard work throughout the season. 🏕️

The campsite will be closing for the season within the next week or so, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another great season next year!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us. 💚
