Our foundations

In 2012 a feasibility study was conducted to assess support for establishing a new countryside trust in Argyll. Of the 350 groups and individuals consulted, 89% were in full support of creating Argyll and the Isles Coast and Countryside Trust. 

Read the feasibility study here: ACT_Feasibility_study.pdf

We were launched in 2014 as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCO44733), regulated by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).

In Spring 2018 we published our Progress Report and Growth Strategy 2018 - 2021. This is helping us to develop our business model from start-up charity to fully functioning social enterprise.
