For a thriving
and flourishing Lochwinnoch

Who we are

Lochwinnoch Community Development Trust (LCDT) is a registered charity in Scotland (SC053157) and is a member of the Development Trusts Association Scotland (DTAS), which supports local trusts in community-led initiatives.

LCDT, now a non-profit Community Benefit Society, was established in 2018 to help shape a better future for Lochwinnoch.

What we do

We support community-led projects that transform community spaces, improve local facilities, support community connection, and protect Lochwinnoch’s culture and heritage.

Above all, we believe that strong, connected communities start with people who care about where they live. As a result, by empowering local voices and investing in projects that matter to residents, we help ensure Lochwinnoch remains a vibrant, welcoming place- now and for generations to come.
