Oban and District Development Trust

Oban and District Development Trust is a new organisation that will be an important and exciting vehicle for community, economic, cultural and environmental development in the Oban area. ODDT will do this by creating new opportunities, developing existing ideas and giving voice and support to positive initiatives that better Oban and North Argyll.

The new Trust will be building Community Wealth. In this, one of the core principles is the community ownership of land and property. Through the National Lottery’s Scottish Land Fund, we received funding to buy the shop that Re_Store currently operates from, on Oban’s George Street. The lease for the building is currently held by Hope Kitchen – this new opportunity will see the purchase led by the new development trust with support from The Resource Collective.
