Loch Ewe Community Enterprise: Working for local economic resilience
Buy Your Community Shares
Loch Ewe Community Enterprise (LECE) is registered as a Community Benefit Society (CBS), which means we can raise long-term, community-owned capital through the sale of Community Benefit Shares. These are not like ordinary company shares—they are designed to protect community ownership and ensure that our assets always serve local people.
By buying Community Shares, members become co-owners of local development projects, ensuring that decisions are made locally and for the long-term good of the area. It’s a practical way for the community to take control of its economic future—and a powerful statement that Wester Ross belongs to the people who live and work here.
About
our organisation
Loch Ewe Community Enterprise (LECE) is a community-owned, not-for-profit organisation working to build long-term economic resilience in Wester Ross. Based around Loch Ewe, we support local jobs, small businesses and social projects by developing community assets, encouraging enterprise and creating affordable spaces to live and work. Any surplus we generate is reinvested back into the community, helping to tackle depopulation, strengthen local services and ensure that our villages remain vibrant, sustainable places for people to live, work and thrive. Our Community of Benefit is defined as the three community council areas: Gairloch, Wester Loch Ewe and Aultbea.
