 Get in touch if you would like to have a try!

The community survey told us 94% of respondents were concerned about the changing climate we are working with Lanarkshire Climate Action Hub to run an autumn workshop to see what we can do around climate readiness across Black Mount. 

If you would like to get involved - let us know! 

We got our charitable status in May and are working towards full membership of  Development Trusts Association Scotland (DTAS) - so a few of our trustees have secured bursary places to attend the DTAS annual conference in August.

 Watch this space for updates! 

We’re planning a community-powered event with repair stalls, a seed swap, cycle tune-ups, and a group cycle ride from Newbigging to Dolphinton. 

Save the date! 

One of the first steps for Black Mount Community  Development Trust has been our application for charitable status. We are delighted this was awarded in May 2025.
