About Us
The Dornoch Firth Group was established in 2007 to serve the community of East Sutherland. We are an independent charity that runs lots of community groups and activities. We became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) in August 2011.
We run lots of groups and projects, please browse the pages of this website to find out more about what you can get involved in. Do get in touch if you have any ideas or would like to volunteer with us!
Our aims are:
To advance citizenship and community development by identifying, creating and developing links to enable the young people and adults of this area to become integrated members of their communities through a programme which provides positive messages of respect, the development of life skills and the enhancement of individual self-esteem in a safe environment
To assist those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage, through developing strategies to respond to their needs, using local resources and the whole community in its widest context.
