The Baldernock Community Development Trust, known as The Baldernock Trust, is an established registered charity and a member of the Development Trusts Association Scotland.  Its vision is to celebrate and strengthen Baldernock’s unique rural environment by fostering and harnessing the resources of a collaborative and engaged community through selected local activities.  All who share its aims are invited to become members of the Trust.

Directors of the Trust are residents of Baldernock who combine their experience of living and working in the community, together with their personal areas of interest and expertise, to help the Trust achieve its goals.  Please contact the Trust if you would like to join the Board.

Directors 2021-22:

Alison Hazell (Chair), Kate Currie, Mark Hazell, Ros Jarvis, Rosie Mill, Dominic Mellor, Sally Stanley, Lesley Wiseman and Nicola Nisbet.

Trust directors are elected each year at the AGM in November, and meet regularly to progress Trust projects and initiate new ones.

Current and recent Trust projects include:

• Creating a new nursery facility at Baldernock Primary School to support our pre-school children;

• Improving broadband access for Baldernock residents;

• Producing our own Baldernock Calendar;

• Supporting social activities to develop new connections across the community;

• Fundraising for local projects.

Progress of these projects and information about other Trust initiatives are reported in AGM minutes and in summaries of other meetings (see below) and in Baldernock Community Council’s monthly eNewsletter.  If you would like to receive this eNewsletter about what’s going on in Baldernock, please email baldernockcc@gmail.com.
