Appin Community Development Trust is a small, community based charity set up in 2017 by a group of local volunteers to help improve the health, wellbeing and quality of life for residents in this remote rural area on the north west coast of Argyll. Our mission is to help Appin be a vibrant, sustainable, resilient and inclusive community for all who live and work here. We do this through local consultation and group working to identify opportunities for the development of services and facilities to meet the needs of local people. We are a very elderly community so early projects have included setting up a community transport scheme (there are no public transport services) and a locally run care at home service (we are too remote for commercial providers). We are also developing projects to encourage and support young working families to come and make Appin their home, providing new facilities (playpark, community garden) and infrastructure for sports and recreation activities, including restoration of the old boathouse. We pull together a great range of volunteer skills and time commitments but do also need funding to deliver and sustain our work. We greatly value all the help and support we receive.
We teach Latin in UK state schools, delivering an arts-based language curriculum consistently in schools. We teach a dead language to introduce history, art and literature, using songs, games and drama. Our approach is to bring the past to life to change the future.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Inland Northwest helps children reach their potential through professionally supported one-to-one relationships with measurable results. Our vision is successful mentoring relationships for all children who need and want them, contributing to brighter futures, better schools, and stronger communities for all.
