The Sunart Community Company is a registered charity acting to keep Sunart a great place to live, work and visit. It is one of many community ‘development trusts’ that have been established around the UK, sharing a common goal to help communities take greater control over their affairs, both today and for the future.
A critical element is to understand the needs and expectations of our local community. The Sunart Community Company therefore works closely with the Sunart Community Council and other local organisations to create and maintain a strategic vision and development plan for the community.

This is based on periodic community consultations. The first of these was carried out in 2016, and reflected the vision of “a resilient community created by a socially and economically inclusive environment, which adapts to change in a sustainable and dynamic way”. This was summarised as: Keeping Sunart a great place to live, work and visit.
More recently, in 2022, the consultation programme was repeated, being followed by a series of four focus events in Strontian Hall, plus Zoom calls for those unable to attend the in-person meetings.
These activities prompted a wealth of fresh ideas, including Food Sharing Initiatives, Sunart Paths, Social Events, and Car Sharing Schemes, as well as demonstrating continued support for the original vision and development programme.
