FOLLOWING the presentation of a special resolution to change the legal status of Oban Communities Trust (OCT) to become what is commonly known as a community benefit society, the community again put its ‘trust’ in the Trust at OCT’s annual general meeting last week.
Wednesday evening’s meeting, held in the Rockfield Centre’s community hut, heard the change in status would enable OCT to fundraise through the issue of community shares and follow a growing number of community enterprises raising investment capital through a community share offer.
