Minginish Community Hall Association

Minginish Community Hall Association (MCHA) is a registered charity (SC028093) incorporated in 1998 for  the purpose of building a new community hall for the remote rural area of Minginish on the Isle of Skye. Minginish spans 21,000 hectares with a population of around 500 in eleven crofting settlements. The new hall was opened in 2009 and has become the hub for community activities of all kinds. Minginish is also home to the Cuillin mountains and two of Skye's top six tourist attractions: the Fairy Pools at Glenbrittle and the Talisker Distillery at Carbost. As well as bringing visitors to the area, they also bring significant challenges. In recognition of this, MCHA adopted a new constitution and structure in 2016, enabling other projects to be pursued for community benefit in addition to the community hall. These include broadband improvements and the refurbishment of the local play park, as well as the Fairy Pools project.  MCHA is a volunteer run organisation with a part time project officer and volunteers in project teams.
