Insh Com­munity Hold­ings with their hedge plant­ing, the Robo cut­ter pro­ject from Spey Catch­ment Ini­ti­at­ive and the V& A wild­life garden pro­ject that we heard about at the Cel­eb­ra­tion event.

Cel­eb­ra­tion Event – This was a suc­cess­ful event with good vari­ety of speak­ers through­out the after­noon. It was a good oppor­tun­ity to see how much of an impact the Cairngorms Trust has on each of the organ­isa­tions, char­it­ies and indi­vidu­als that we sup­port. The raffle cre­ated an oppor­tun­ity for dona­tions to the Trust. Thanks to all the busi­nesses and indi­vidu­als who sup­por­ted the raffle. Thanks also to Sue Emery and Jen­nifer for help­ing organ­ise the event.

AUGUST 2024 QUARTERLY UPDATE

AUGUST 2024

Fun­drais­ing – Events com­pleted June 2^nd Aber­deen Kilt­walk and raffle raised £458.97 after Just Giv­ing fees.

I would really appre­ci­ate trust­ees think­ing about events that they might attend or encour­age oth­ers to on behalf of the Cairngorms Trust to raise addi­tion­al funds for projects.

You can see from the busi­ness plan that we are hop­ing to raise £10,000 this fin­an­cial year increas­ing to £20,000 ²⁵⁄₂₆ and £30,000 ²⁶⁄₂₇. To do this I will need sup­port from all trust­ees. Sup­port might be in pro­mot­ing events through your own net­works online and off­line, it might be attend­ing events on behalf of the Trust or sug­gest­ing or attend fun­drais­ing events for the Trust.

The Vol­un­tary Giv­ing Part­ner­ship Group has been very pro­act­ive and I am keen to cap­it­al­ise on this and try to get some of the ini­ti­at­ives work­ing well. There are a num­ber of addi­tion­al events run­ning which I would be keen for trust­ees to pro­mote / attend. 1^st Sept – Greentown Show (Grant­own on Spey) 18^th & 19^th Sept – ACE road­show vis­its (18^th Cairngorms Farm­ers event, 19^th CNPA & Grant­own event) Sept date TBC ACE Crowd­fun­der 13^th Nov — Cairngorms Busi­ness Part­ner­ship (CBP) con­fer­ence 14^th Nov – LAG AGM and Meet­ing. Nov — Online raffle, launch date and draw date TBC Monthly vis­it to Bal­later – TBC with CBP Bri­an will give a full update in his Vol­un­tary Giv­ing item on the agenda.

If there are loc­al / Cairngorms wide events that you think we should be attend­ing, please do be in touch with details and any offers of assist­ance at them.

ACE BIKE PROJECT

CAIRNGORMS TRUST GIVE PRO­TECT GROW

ACE pro­ject update ACE bike pro­ject – The ACE pro­ject con­tin­ues to flour­ish. Mikes Bikes con­tin­ue to be a pos­it­ive part­ner in the pro­ject and work well on the day to day run­ning of the project.

All bikes are cur­rently out on loan. The bikes pre­vi­ously iden­ti­fied for sale have been sold and the new bikes have been purchased.

The e‑trike is loaned out less and I have star­ted con­ver­sa­tions with Able 2 Adven­ture as to wheth­er they might be able to use it when it is not in use with the ACE pro­ject. They are going to sign­post some of their loc­al groups to the pro­ject if appropriate.

See quarterly report for full details.

Please note that Mikes Bikes who run the ACE pro­ject for us have applied for CLV fund­ing for an addi­tion­al­ity pro­ject for young people to run along­side the ACE project.
