Strathtay Community Company
Strathtay Community Company is a company limited by guarantee (Scottish Company Number SC340142) and was incorporated on 25 March 2008. The company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association sets out the company’s purposes, powers, limit of liability, membership, meeting, voting and director requirements. The Scottish Ministers have given the company written confirmation that they are satisfied that the main purpose of the body is consistent with furthering the cause of sustainable development.
The company was formed to benefit the community of Strathtay Village by empowering the community to take decisions to determine its own future and contribute to the sustainable development of the village.
The company was formed after members of the community recognised the need for local people to have more control over issues affecting the village and more choice in how their needs are met. Most of the village are ordinary members.
The companies current activities are:
- To assist in preserving or enhancing the character and appearance of the Grandtully and Strathtay Conservation Area following the principles of sustainable development
To seek to extend the area of ordinary membership at the next opportunity to include postcode PH9 0PL and to co-opt a director residing in this postcode who is committed to preserving or enhancing the character and appearance of the Grandtully and Strathtay Conservation Area
- To explore and apply for funding which is available to community organisations for enhancement opportunities within the Conservation Area
- To maintain the community body interest in land (registration no CB00090) under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 and to explore ideas and funding opportunities for the land should the right to buy the land ever be triggered
- To maintain the company's website and to encourage member interest in the website
- To cooperate and assist Mid-Atholl, Grandtully and Strathtay Community Council.
Membership
Membership is open to all and the company encourages all those living in Strathtay Village to become 
ordinary members. The strength of the community company will lie in the number of its members.
