Enhancing the Heart of Lochcarron for Future Generations
Who We Are
ABOUT LOCHCARRON REGENERATION
Lochcarron Regeneration is an informal collective of local residents, parents and community members who want to see positive investment in Lochcarron’s shared spaces.
We formed in response to increasing concerns about the condition of the village playparks, limited facilities for older children and teenagers, and the poor condition of the adjoining carpark area. Rather than waiting for change to happen, we decided to take proactive steps to explore solutions, engage with partners and seek funding opportunities.
We are supported by guidance from Highland Third Sector Interface (HTSI) and are working towards a partnership arrangement with established local organisations to ensure the project is sustainable, accountable and eligible for grant funding.
Our aim is not to replace existing groups, but to work alongside them — strengthening what already exists and ensuring Lochcarron receives the level of investment it deserves.
These projects are strategically designed to:
- improve health and wellbeing
- strengthen social relationships
- support early years development and teen inclusion
- increase village pride
- enhance tourist appeal along the NC500 route
- provide safe, modern community assets
- bring long-term economic benefit
Neighbouring villages such as Balmacara and Applecross have successfully delivered similar playpark investments — proving that ambitious community projects in remote Highland areas are achievable through collaboration, planning, and strong vision.
COMMUNITY-LED, FOR EVERYONE
Lochcarron Regeneration is driven by local people with local priorities. We are committed to consultation, transparency, and evidence-based planning, ensuring our work reflects a genuine community mandate.
By rebuilding our playparks and improving our public spaces, we aim to create a Lochcarron that every resident — from toddlers to teens to older generations — can enjoy and feel connected to.
We invite you to join us, support the project, and help shape the future of Lochcarron.
