A message from our new Chair – David Smart

I am David Smart and I am the new Chair of Dunadd Community Enterprise. 

We are holding our AGM on the 11^th January 2024 in the Glassary, Kilmartin and Ford Parish Church, Barrmor View – Kilmartin at 7pm.  I would appreciate it if you could attend as there are several items where it would be good to get thoughts on how we proceed.

We are a small group and recognise that we need to operate as a Project based group, rather than an entity that delivers services.  Over the last 18 months we have been developing a new Community Plan with the aim of applying for funding for a Development Worker to bring the actions and objectives of a new plan to life.

We will present the draft plan at the AGM and will be holding further Community Consultations to allow as many residents as possible to see the plan and give feedback and shape our future work.  We want the views and opinions of the Dunadd constituency to help shape the final plan. 

Dates for the consultations are:

• 11^th January                Glassary, Kilmartin and Ford Parish Church, Barrmor View – Kilmartin 7.45pm to 9pm.
• 18^th January               Ford Village Hall 3pm to 7pm
• 1^st February                Glassary, Kilmartin and Ford Parish Church, Barrmor View – Kilmartin 3pm to 7pm

Looking forward, DCE needs at least two new Directors.  If this is something that is of interest to you please contact me for a chat (secretary@dunaddcc.org) and come along to the AGM on the 11^th January. 

Dunadd Community Enterprise and Dunadd Community Council are working together to update the Community Plan and would love your input.  We have devised a short questionnaire.  Please click the link below to access the questionnaire.  

We will use your feedback to input to the Community Plan and we are in the process of applying for funding to secure a development worker who can work alongside DCE and DCC to implement the plan.

Please give us honest feedback around what you would like to see brought to the Dunadd area. 

If you have any questions please email secetary@dunaddcc.org.
