About SCOPHRA
Founded in 2017, SCOPHRA was formed for the benefit of Park Home (Mobile Home) permanent residents in Scotland.
Residential Park Homes, sometime called mobile homes, provde a unique lifestyle which is growing throughout Scotland – with some eighty (80) sites from the Highlands to the Borders. They are used predominantly by the over 50’s and those of a retirement age looking for an easier way of life. In some cases, location can be the main attraction, in particular the countryside along with coastal sites are both very much sought after but sites can be found in urban areas.
The formation of the Scottish Confederation Of Park Homes Residents Associations (SCOPHRA) is intended to provide an umbrella organisation for existing and future Park Home Residents Associations with the sole aim of supporting their needs and aspirations under the one banner, giving strength in numbers to individual associations.
Under its constitution the aims of SCOPHRA are….
- To represent and maximise the collective interests of affiliated park home Residents Associations in Scotland in their contact with site owners, local authorities, public bodies, lawmakers and the media.
- To advise and assist affiliated Associations and their members in matters of park home law and regulation in Scotland and to gather substantive data on park home living in Scotland.
- To encourage the formation of Residents Associations on permanent residential park home sites in Scotland in accordance with the Mobile Homes (Written Statement) (Scotland) Regulations 2013.
- To assist individual park home residents with the above, where no local Association exists.
- To promote best practice and encourage park home lifestyle as a permanent residential option in accordance with the Mobile Homes Acts as they apply in Scotland.
