The Ravenspoint Centre is owned by Co-Chomunn na Pairc (the Park Community Co-operative) and houses a shop (the only one in South Lochs), hostel, tea-room, exhibition area, and a number of offices occupied by local organisations. The Co-Chomunn is facing two long-term problems in keeping these vital community facilities going – the building is deteriorating, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find sufficient volunteers to keep services operating. This was the background to the commissioning of a feasibility study in January 2007, funded by the Big Lottery Fund, to identify options for the future of the building.
