On 6th September 2008, Ardentinny residents and visitors rallied to support Dr. Ali Dabbagh's ground-breaking project to establish and manage a mobile eye clinic in Palestine.

Ardentinny Community Trust Ltd folds due to lack of support
Ardentinny Community Trust Ltd held its final AGM in December 2008. While the usual agenda topics were duly covered, i.e, Minutes of the last meeting; Matters arising; Chairman's and Treasurer's reports, which included The Ardentinny Community Futures Community Profile which can be downloaded here; and Any Other Business, the main thrust of the meeting was the future of the Trust. In the event of office bearers' and committee members' resignations and a lack of response to the call for new volunteers, the position of the Community Trust was untenable and therefore those present agreed it should be officially dissolved. From its inception, Trust committee members, past and present, have worked hard for the local community, liaising with the various authorities to try and fulfil its wishes. The possibility still exists for it to be re-established at some point in the future.
