Empowering Our Community: A Look Back and the Road Ahead
As we approach the Beith Trust Annual General Meeting (AGM) on March 15, 2024, it’s a time of reflection and anticipation. Over the years, Beith Trust has been a beacon of community-led initiatives, fostering a sense of belonging and actively engaging in the sustainable regeneration of our community. Our approach has always been unique—avoiding traditional consultancy and surveys for ongoing dialogue and creative feedback mechanisms.
A Year in Review
This past year has been transformative. Despite considerable challenges, we’ve seen remarkable community participation and engagement and the successful implementation of several projects that have made a significant difference in the lives of our residents. From supporting families in crisis, and being a friendly voice at the end of a phone through to strategic action plans and captial development of our Estate, our efforts have been multifaceted.
Community Engagement: Our Core
At the heart of Beith Trust’s success is our commitment to engagement with our people. We believe in empowering our members by keeping the community in the driving seat. Our projects are not just for the community but by the community. This year, we’ve seen incredible creativity from our members, whether in feedback sessions or the actual roll-out of community initiatives.
Looking Ahead: Strategies and Plans
As we look to the future, our focus remains on sustainable growth and development. Our upcoming projects aim to further invest in people, places, and businesses, strengthening the fabric of our community. We’re exploring innovative ways to enhance community spaces, support local entrepreneurship, and increase youth participation.
