The funds raised through the sale of land has allowed the Trust to fund a number of local projects each year.

To date, North Berwick Trust Ltd has awarded a total of £2,151,408  in community grants to support individuals and organisations living or operating within North Berwick.

The Trust is proud to have supported over 261 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, North Berwick Harbour, 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 June 2026, the Trust awarded £54,521 to support 14 projects, as listed in the table below. As usual, the projects are very diverse and will benefit a wide cross-section of the community. 

£750 was awarded in Young Person’s Scholarships which benefited 1 young person in North Berwick.
