Developing a sustainable and viable community through the promotion of social, educational, cultural, economic and  environmental well-being in North Uist. ​

Welcome to North Uist Development Company
​

The North Uist Development Company (NUDC) was founded in March 2010 with its core aim to develop a sustainable and viable community through promoting social, educational, cultural, economic and environmental wellbeing in North Uist.  NUDC meets this core aim through development projects, with the key project being a two-turbine operational wind project, Uist Wind, which will generate revenue in the near future to benefit the community. This is operated by North Uist Development Company (Trading) Ltd.

This website contains information on NUDC, and the projects NUDC is involved in.  Our aim is to work with the local community including businesses, community councils, groups and organisations to progress projects for the benefit of the community as  a whole.  All of North Uist is peripheral and fragile, suffering from continuing problems of depopulation and demographic imbalance.  Therefore, there are many challenges, but with the support of the community, NUDC aims to play a vital role in tackling some of these issues.

NUDC is a limited company by guarantee and a registered charity, managed by a volunteer committee drawn from the local community.

NUDC's objectives

  • Promotion of community development, including rural regeneration following the principles of sustainable development.
  • The provision of assistance to people who are disadvantaged by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial or other disadvantage. 
  • The promotion of education including all forms of training for work and life skills
  • The advancement of the arts, culture and heritage, including support for the Gaelic arts and the protection of buildings and sites of architectural or historic importance. 
  • The protection and enhancement of the natural heritage and environment
  • The relief of poverty in such ways as thought to be fit.
