What we work on
CDT runs projects through volunteer working groups. These are the active ones.
How CDT works
CDT isn't a charity that runs things for Comrie. It's the village running things together.
Working groups are open, volunteer-led teams that decide and run the work. Anyone in Comrie can join one. Each elects a lead, who reports to the board.
The board doesn't dictate priorities — it provides governance, funding routes, and a forum where the groups coordinate.
This is why a tiny staff team runs a 90-acre site and dozens of active projects. The work is distributed.
Climate Action Group
Reducing Comrie's carbon footprint through renewable energy at the camp and community climate programmes across the village. CDT has been a national Climate Challenge Fund exemplar since 2008.

Current focus: Housing needs and demand assessment underway, with technical support from Perth & Kinross Council and the Communities Housing Trust.

Custodians of Cultybraggan Camp's history — conserving the Category A-listed Nissen huts, running the camp museum, and keeping the story of Camp 21 alive for future generations.
