About Us
In 1996 a community project funded by the Corrom Trust identified the need for a community-owned development agency which had a clear remit to formulate strategies and provide practical support to local projects aimed at improving the social amenities, and physical and economic infrastructure of the islands
The Mull and Iona Community Trust was subsequently registered as a Company Limited by Guarantee and granted charitable status in 1997.
The Trust is run by a Board of 12 volunteer Directors. Ten Directors are elected from the membership and two Directorships are available for representative from each of the Mull Community Council and the Iona Community Council.
Many of the Directors are active in other voluntary organisations on the island, and are drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds – retailing, tourism accommodation, education, farming, retired and commerce.
The Trust employs 14 staff on the islands, working variously in the Charity Shop, recycling operation, and ranger service as well as on specific projects and in the central administration function. The operation is supported by twenty regular volunteers who embody what the Trust strives to achieve.
