Set up in 2010 following a meeting hosted by Coigach Community Council, CCDC has a mandate to build affordable housing and has two trading subsidiaries to raise the capital to achieve this.
Coigach Community C.I.C owns and operates a 500kW refurbished Vestas V47 turbine that began production in 2017 and is anticipated to continue production until 2037.
CCDC Trading Ltd owns a share of the Ben Mor Hydroscheme. Both companies donate their profits to the Charity as gift aid. The full corporate structure is available here.
The Charity invests the gift aid into projects such as the current development of 10 affordable homes at the Achagarry site, due to complete in 2026 and the management of the 8000 acre Badentarbet crofting estate.
This year, CCDC has been consulting Coigach residents regarding their investment priorities beyond housing development and has aligned its work into three strategic objectives:
The operational team of 3 full time equivalent employees (7 individuals) carries out the work within these objectives to achieve the vision that Coigach will be a thriving community where the school roll is rising and we are building a more diverse, more sustainable economy.
