This week’s  updates;

• It’s a diverse range of work we carry out at the Trust. This week we have driven white vans, cleared out our shed of rubbish,  helped our contractor make dozens of bags of wood fuel, went to Uist to present at a Social Enterprise Academy training event, attended two board meetings and arranged many new installs of our broadband service (BT have finally released new backhaul lines to us…..yippeee!)
• John Finnie MSP will visit the Trust on the 27th August for an overview of our work.
• Andy Cumming of Mann Judd Gordon (our accountants) will be onsite at the Trust offices now on Monday and Tuesday after being delayed due to the CalMac strike.
• We have made it to 500 likes on Facebook and 300 followers on Twitter.
• Our network software package, named “The Dude” is now live at the Trust’s office which will enable us to monitor Skyenets many mast sites and the system performance.
• Graeme Hamilton, Innovation Officer at Albyn Enterprises Ltd (part of Albyn Housing Society) will visit the Trust on the 8th  or 9th of July

• SCT will take part in a meeting today to explore the possibilities of being part of a broadband research project led by Edinburgh University .
