Small Grant – Christmas Decorations for DCH
DCT were happy to grant £267.00 to The Dunvegan Hall Committee to purchase some new Christmas decorations for use in the hall. The hall is used by a varied number of groups who would all benefit from a little extra Christmas cheer. These decorations will be able to be used for years to come to decorate the hall and bring joy to the community.
Project – Defibrillators
This was a collaborative project between Dunvegan Community Council and Dunvegan Community Trust. The project was to buy 4 new life saving defibrillators to be sited in Dunvegan and the surrounding areas, Harlosh & Roag. Given the huge area that the Dunvegan Community Council covers, there were only ever 2 defibrillators in the village, this has now been greatly extended. The defibrillators will not only be of huge benefit to the local residents but to the vast number of visitors that co...Read More

Dunvegan Playpark Crowdfunder Launched!
We’ve launched a Dunvegan Playpark Crowdfunder to get us closer to realising this great project. The Dunvegan Playpark Committee has been working closely with Kompan, a leading designer of accessible, sustainable playground equipment, to design a state of the art park for Dunvegan. The project costs are £150k, and while we are on the right track to achieving that target, we will need to have successful funding applications, and also pursue corporate sponsorship. So far, we have been grante...Read More
Dunvegan Playpark Project Boost!
The Dunvegan Playpark sub-committee received fantastic news last Friday, that Skye councillors have decided to allocate £30,983 amenities funding to the Dunvegan Community Playpark Project.

The news came on the same day that we submitted our application to the Community Regeneration Fund for the project, so here’s hoping to even more good news soon. We will also be l...Read More
