January 2026 Update

Reelig Estate accepted Highland RDA Group SCIO's decision to terminate the Group's lease agreement at Sandycroft with effect from the end of December 2025. They agreed to enter into a temporary agreement for a grazing licence until the end of February, enabling the group to continue negotiations with an alternative venue. Since exploring that venue other ways forward have all proved unviable. The current Trustees recognise that in order to secure the Group's future, a refreshed Board of Trustees should be formed as soon as practicable with a view to taking Highland Group forward. Once the new Trustees are in place and with the support of the landlords (Reelig Estate), the Group could be in a position to discuss future lease arrangements.

We would like to thank everyone who has donated both large and small amounts, enabling the group to sustain the sessions which provide such wonderful benefit to many in our disabled community and through which they have an opportunity to realise far greater potential than would otherwise be possible.

In order for the Group to continue, please consider becoming a Trustee and creating a new Board. An application form is available from the Group Administrator (info@highlandgrouprda.org.uk), to be returned as soon as possible and preferably by the end of January 2026.
