Making ColGlen a better place to live and work.

This is the website of the Colintraive and Glendaruel Development Trust.

The villages of Colintraive and Glendaruel, known jointly as ColGlen, are 10 miles apart and have a total adult population of around 250, with a reasonably equal split between the two villages. Historically, both communities had local services and community facilities which, to a large extent, separated the two communities. Diminishing resident populations, particularly young families, has resulted in the deterioration of local facilities and services. The Development Trust was established in 2008 to engender a cohesive approach to developing the social, economic and cultural base of the area.

Mission Statement

The purpose of the CGDT is to work with, and for, the community to identify and support projects and activities which will improve access to, and provision of, facilities, amenities and services for employment, education, health and recreation. The CGDT will do this while maintaining the benefits of living in the area such as safety, tranquillity and community spirit while aiming to improve sustainability and build community and personal resilience.
