Company Origins

The Mull & Iona Community Trust, Ltd. was established following a research & community consultation process led by the Corrom Trust in 1996-97. In its final report the local steering group had 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 Company was Registered and granted charitable status in 1997 and the first staff were employed in April 1998, once all funding was secured. Given its foundations, steeped in community consultation, our charity values its independence and works to promote the interests of the islands at all levels.

Management

The management committee is a Board of currently 11 volunteer Directors (12 is max), elected from and by the Members at the AGM (one third must step down annually but may be re-appointed). Two Directorships are also available for representatives from each Community Council. All of the Directors are active in other voluntary organisations on the island, and are drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds - retailing, tourism accommodation, farming, retired, commerce - and are also representative geographically.
