We have two new exciting consultancy projects to work on, here at Creetown Initiative!
We have just begun working with Cree Valley Community Woodlands Trust and our role will be to mentor their transition project to become more sustainable. 
CVCWT is a partnership between Dumfries and Galloway Council, Forestry Commission Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Freshfield Foundation, Galloway Estates, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Community Councils and private landowners. They are concerned with the value of the local woodlands in contributing to tourism, recreation and biodiversity. We will be helping the Trust to progress with their projects and become more sustainable by carrying out an organisational review.
Our other project is with the New Galloway Community Enterprise group. We will be supporting the work of this proactive group, who are hoping to take 
over and save the village shop. The village shop in rural New Galloway is an essential service for local residents and visitors to the village and in the near future the facility will close due to the retirement of the owner. Creetown Initiative’s role will be to provide research and development work, to assist the New Galloway Enterprise group to take over and run the village shop.
