How a 23-year-old led a Highland Community buy-out. Olivia Grant - Foyers Stores
Olivia Grant is 23 years old, sixth generation in the Highlands, and the driving force behind the community buyout of Foyers Stores – the only shop serving 800 people along a 35-mile stretch of Loch Ness-side road. When the store faced closure, Olivia did not wait for someone else to fix it. She submitted a £365,000 Scottish Land Fund application and got to work. On the Growth for Good podcast, she speaks with Drew Hendry about what it really takes to hold a community together when the things that keep it alive are under threat.
