Grants

Established in 2018, from funds raised through the sale of land, North Berwick Trust’s Forever Fund now awards grants to a number of local projects each year. To date, North Berwick Trust has awarded a total of £1,773,524 to support individual and organisations living or operating within North Berwick.

The Trust are proud to have supported 224 projects for the benefit of our local community. These projects have been wide-ranging from across our funding themes including support for the North Berwick Youth Project, Fringe by the Sea, Scottish Seabird Centre, Law Primary School and North Berwick High School.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trust also took action by offering unprecedented relief grants for local businesses. We are delighted to have been able to support 53 local businesses and groups, including the North Berwick Community Council Resilience Effort.

In 2022, North Berwick Trust launched its Young Persons Scholarship scheme. Grants of up to £10,000 are available for young people age 14-25 living or studying in North Berwick. The fund is designed to help young people fulfil their career ambitions.
