Community Regeneration Funding

Project Successes

We manage external funding programs to help community groups secure support for projects that meet local needs and drive positive change.

This page showcases successful projects, aiming to inspire and encourage idea-sharing and collaboration among community groups.

Culrain Hall - Extension & Refurbishment

The CRF funding was used to make the hall weatherproof and watertight. This has allowed for the hall to be used for the community now, and for generations to come. The community hall serves as a central hub, supporting local discussions, social gatherings, and welfare initiatives, including the food larder for residents' needs. This project fits the strategic objective of increasing community resilience and has allowed for new activities for young people, well-being support, spaces for people and keeping communities connected.

Thomas Telford – Corpach Marina

This project delivered a marina facility that will cater for upwards of 40 berths, with marina services, a public slipway, car and trailer parking access, a new building with toilets, showers, laundry facilities and a community café. The marina was a headline project in the FW2040 initiative, marking a significant milestone upon its completion. It is expected to lead to significant growth in local tourism and marina-related industries. The project has brought in long-term employment opportunities, attraction to other local businesses in the area, and addresses a critical infrastructure gap between Inverness and Oban, as well as greater accessibility for local and visiting boaters.
