CRUACH MHOR WINDFARM TRUST Report to Argyll and Bute Council, Bute and Cowal Area Committee, June 2024 After recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been an upturn in activity in financial year 2023/24. As in previous years, the Trust provided support to Village Halls in Glendaruel and Colintraive which facilitate a range of activities for communities, thanks to their respective hard-working Committees. Much appreciated were the subsidised Christmas meal at Colintraive and Hallowe’en Party at Glendaruel. In December, in response to continuing cost of living pressures, the Trust was able to fund a further payment of £150 to every permanent household in the area. This was administered by Colintraive & Glendaruel Development Trust. The range of grants provided has resulted in a substantial decrease in the Trust’s balance over the year. However, with an expected receipt of around £44,000 from ScottishPower Renewables, the Trust can continue to offer generous support to the community of Colintraive and Glendaruel in the year ahead. Cruach Mhor Windfarm Trust 2023/24. Balance @ 1st April 2023 £58,782.45 Income £49541.05 Expenditure £63132.87. Balance @ 31st March 2024 £45190.63 David Eaglesham Secretary/Treasurer.
