Our purpose
We aim to support thriving island communities by using tech to grow wealth and keep it local.
Because we are a social enterprise, we reinvest our profits back into the Scottish islands.
We do that in three ways.
- By offering free or subsidised digital support to community groups, small businesses and entrepreneurs who couldn’t otherwise afford to access it.
- By taking on young islanders as digital trainees
- And by running Scottish Island Gifts and isleHoliday to the benefit of our communities.

"Being a digital trainee with IsleDevelop has been a wonderful experience so far! It’s helping me build confidence in my existing skills while also introducing new skills and learning opportunities along the way. I feel like a valued team member. Any moment I’ve felt stuck, struggled or lost confidence, I feel as though I’ve been able to ask for help and everyone at Isle Develop has been very supportive and understanding."

"Being a digital trainee is an amazing opportunity for me to further my knowledge and gives me the work experience that most people wouldn't have an opportunity to do, helping me to be able to apply for a job that's in high demand later in life. At the moment I'm learning to write code, review the analytics of Isle Develop socials and develop better communication skills for talking to clients."
