Community Chest awards

The Pentland Community Chest is now funded and managed jointly by Currie Balerno Rotary and the Balerno Village Trust. Grants of up to £600 are made towards projects of value to the local communities in response to applications received from local clubs and organisations. These applications are considered in June and December each year.

In the half-year period to 30 November 2023 grants were awarded to the following:
