Why We Need Your Help 

The Cairngorms Trust need your support so we can provide funding for projects and initiatives that make a lasting difference to our communities, environment and local heritage. 

Every penny you donate will help us, whether it’s through fundraising events, corporate sponsorships or volunteering your time. Your generous donations go directly to the Cairngorms Trust Fund which provides grants and support for small-scale community projects all over the Cairngorms. 

With Your Support…

At the Cairngorms Trust, your generous support enables us to undertake a wide range of projects within our 5 main strands that contribute to the preservation and enhancement of the Cairngorms National Park.

These projects bring numerous benefits, from maintaining the natural beauty of the park and fostering environmental stewardship to empowering local communities and supporting economic growth.

Path Maintenance

Donations towards path maintenance initiatives ensure that the park's extensive network of trails remains accessible, safe, and well-preserved. This enables visitors to explore the stunning landscapes while minimising their impact on the delicate ecosystems.

Nature Restoration

Our nature restoration projects focus on rejuvenating habitats, restoring native species, and protecting biodiversity. Your contributions help create healthier ecosystems, enhancing the park's resilience and supporting the flora and fauna that make the Cairngorms such an ecologically rich area.

Communities

By supporting community-focused initiatives, your donations directly empower local residents and businesses. We collaborate with communities to develop sustainable livelihoods, enhance cultural heritage, and foster a sense of pride and ownership in the park.

Young People

Investing in the next generation is key to securing the future of the Cairngorms. Your support enables us to provide educational programs, outdoor activities, and skill-building opportunities for young people, fostering their love for nature and nurturing the park's future custodians.

E-bike Project

Our Active Cairngorms E-bike project (ACE) helps promote sustainable transportation options in the area. By facilitating the use of electric bikes, we reduce carbon emissions, encourage active lifestyles, provide a cost-effective transport alternative for commuters and enable more people to explore the Cairngorms while minimising their ecological footprint.
