When is this event?
The Cairngorms Trust is hosting its first event to celebrate and share the stories of the variety of projects supported. By sharing their stories we’re looking to attract more donations to support more community-led projects this year.
Throughout the afternoon you’ll hear from a project that connects with the four key areas that the Cairngorms Trust supports.
🌱 Nature Project
🌱 Infrastructure Project
🌱 Youth Local Action Group recipient
🌱 Community Led Local Development
The projects will share what they have achieved and what they included in their funding application to be successful in securing funds to implement their vision.
And we’ll hear from our own Cairngorms Active E-Bikes Project and the progress this is making to make active travel more accessible across Badenoch & Strathspey.
Nancy Chambers, Trust Manager will also share about future funds to look out for and an update on the future vision for the Cairngorms Trust.
The event is open to all projects supported by the Trust, supporters, fundraisers and communities.
The event will bring three days of skills coaching, guided rides, well-being and entertainment, to the Glen Tanar Estate in Royal Deeside from Friday, August 18, to Sunday, August 20.
First held in 2022, the festival is run by mountain bike guides and coaches Anna Riddell, Fiona Finnie and Katie May and has quickly established itself as a must-attend event.
The festival won Best MTB Event title at the Scottish Mountain Bike Awards at the Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland Conference in November.
It is designed for riders of all abilities to progress their skills, build confidence and enjoy the trails at some of the best riding in the north east of Scotland, a fast-emerging hotspot.
