Dingwall is fortunate in having a number of very active voluntary organisations and individuals who are dedicated to making the town an attractive and welcoming place. Dingwall Community Development Company works alongside them with a distinctive role - to use its charitable status to unlock funding for capital projects, making a significant difference in raising Dingwall’s profile and building civic pride. Some of those we actively collaborate with at present include Dingwall Community Council, Dingwall Academy, Highland Council and the town's elected Councillors.
DCDC was formally established in August 2017 as a company limited by guarantee with charitable status.
We are a group of locals passionate about our community and shared heritage, who want to help Dingwall grow and thrive.
The Board typically meets on a monthly basis to review progress with plans and projects. It is a membership organisation, with around 60 members and six directors presently on the board.
Our Directors:
- Jim Holden, Chair
- Nigel Greenwood, Treasurer
- Jonathan McColl
- Hazel Gordon
- Jane Chisholm
- Miles Mack
- Elizabeth Sillars
Membership is free and open to anyone. Members who live within the catchment area of Dingwall Academy have the added advantage of being able to vote Directors to the Board.
Our 2024 Annual General Meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Thursday 18th April at the St Clements Church Hall, Dingwall. Those attending will be able to hear about our current and planned activities, and members can vote. All are very welcome.
