The Trust is a community organisation which promotes town centre initiatives. We draw on the skills, experience and knowledge held by our members who volunteer their time on an unpaid basis to tackle issues and bring good ideas into practical reality.
Potentially the Trust will engage in wide-ranging activities. As a not-for-profit private body the Trust will explore and take forward projects in creative partnerships. These will involve community groups, the public sector and the private sector. The focus is on initiatives which can secure long-term social, economic and environmental benefits for Cupar.

Trust Governance

We made a minor revision to the Memorandum as regards the use of electronic communication and this was approved at the Extra-ordinary General Meeting held on the 9th December 2017.
