The committee is a voluntary group which operates for the benefit of the community in the South End of the Isle of Bute.

The group receives no regular funding. Various projects have been funded by grants, money-raising barbecues, and donations from, in the main, local residents and holiday-home owners.
The committee was originally set up to rescue The Old Pier at Kilchattan Bay, which had fallen into a severe state of disrepair
It has now taken on a wider role in serving the community.
Phase 1 of the Pier Restoration

Work commences on the slipway The opening ceremony
The final stage of the pier restoration should be completed by summer 2004, making this historic stone quay a more attractive focal point for the village as well as a vital facility for the ever-growing number of boat-users and tourists attracted to the area.
Well on the way to completion of final phase June 2004 BBQ August 2004

In addition to its monthly meetings, the committee produces an annual newsletter and each December holds a public meeting at which local issues are aired.
