community business "to promote the common good of the inhabitants
of Birse parish and deliver wider public benefits". |
| Everyone on the Electoral Registers
for Birse parish is a member of the Trust and responsible for electing
the Trustees who run BCT on behalf of the community. |
| Since its inaugural AGM in February
1999, the Trust has taken on an expanding range of projects to address
local issues and capitalise on local opportunities (see "What
the Trust does"). |
| BCT won the Community Business prize
in the 1999 Scottish Community of the Year Awards and its success
has continued to attract favourable comments from Scottish Executive
Ministers and other prominent commentators. Recently, for example,
the Chief Executive of Aberdeenshire Council, reported
that BCT: "is exactly the type of local community initiative which Aberdeenshire
Council wants to encourage more widely throughout our area. The
Council congratulates the Trust for establishing a very successful
track record as a pioneering local community business." |
