About Cassiltoun Trust

Cassiltoun Trust is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cassiltoun Housing Association. Established to regenerate the historic Castlemilk Stables, the Trust initially focused on creating opportunities for local businesses and community use within this important landmark building.

Over the years, our work has expanded significantly. Today, we lead and support a wide range of projects that benefit the wider community, including woodland regeneration, community development initiatives, and partnership projects with local organisations and stakeholders.

Cassiltoun Trust is widely recognised as a successful Community Development Trust because we are:

Community based, owned and led
Committed to the economic, environmental and social regeneration of Castlemilk
Working in partnership with community groups and organisations across the private, voluntary and public sectors
Not-for-profit and driven by community benefit
