​
The maximum award amount is £1,000 and the minimum award amount is £100.​
All applications will be reviewed by our directors who will meet on a quarterly basis.
​
Applications from organisations are encouraged to reflect the values of the Pairc Trust to be successful:

All applications will be reviewed at our board meeting. If you are unsuccessful, we may provide feedback for you to re-apply or provide feedback that will assist you in bringing your project to fruition. We have a limited fund available and will not be able to support all applications. We may put your application on hold but will advise you if we do this – we would only do this to secure additional funding.
SGOIL NA PAIRC TRIP FUNDING
The Pairc Trust were pleased to support Sgoil na Pairc in covering transport and accommodation costs for three highly-commended pupils to attend an awards ceremony at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, enabling them and their families to celebrate their achievements.
​
Ghibbs, Tianna, and Leisha from Pairc School (pictured with Stewart Davidson from MOWI and Emma Mackenzie, Estate Manager for the Trust) were invited to Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, to receive awards after submitting ideas to the Scottish Engineering Leaders Award on the topic: “If you were an engineer what would you do?”​
The Trust were delighted to be able to support Sgoil na Pairc with such a great achievement for the pupils and the school, and we look forward to supporting similar causes within the community.
RAVENSPOINT FUNDING
A £1,000 grant has been awarded to Ravenspoint Centre for grounds maintenance to maintain the grounds located in/around Ravenspoint Centre from The Pairc Trust Community Benefit Fund in collaboration with Mowi Scotland.
This will ensure that visitors to the Ravenspoint café can enjoy the outdoor space overlooking Loch Erisort, and help keep the monument to the Loch Erisort Charioteers in excellent condition.
The Trust is pleased to be able to support this project as Ravenspoint represents an important community facility to both Pairc residents and visitors, and we are delighted to help contribute to its maintenance for the community.
HABOST HALL REPAIRS
A £1,000 grant has been awarded to Pairc Historical Society from The Pairc Trust Community Benefit Fund in collaboration with Mowi Scotland.
The funding will be used towards the replacement of the roof of Habost Hall which serves as a museum store for community artefacts and also has a humidity-controlled document store.
The roof needs urgent repairs and the Trust is pleased to be able to support this project as Habost Hall is an important community heritage asset. We are delighted to help contribute to the roof repairs to ensure the protection of the building and important community artefacts for future generations.
