Community groups in the strath seeking funding support for projects are being offered the chance to tap a fund offered by a Grantown care home firm operating across the Highlands.

Parklands Care Homes -has reopened its Pathway Fund, which is dedicated to helping community groups and charities in the Highlands, Moray and Aberdeenshire.

The firm based in The Square in the Strathspey capital says it has been supporting local community projects for 30 years, and the Pathway Fund – introduced at the end of 2023 - continues its commitment to strengthening communities.

Since its launch, the Pathway Fund has supported a variety of local initiatives, including Black Isle Cares, Cromarty Youth Café, Highlands & Islands Blood Bikes, Fortrose & Rosemarkie Bowling Club, Inverness Highlanders Junior Ice Hockey Club, Eclipse Taekwondo, The Fiddler of Strathspey Festival and Buckie Men’s Shed.

Eligible projects include those that focus on older people, education, sport and wellbeing, young people, and sustainability.

Ron Taylor, managing director of Parklands Care Homes, said: “The Pathway Fund reflects our commitment to the communities we serve.

“By supporting local groups that make a real difference, we aim to help create a lasting positive impact across the Highlands, Moray and Aberdeenshire.

“We’re excited to see the new projects that will benefit in this next round of funding.”

Last month, Parklands was recognised for its support for local communities, winning the Community Engagement by a business award at the Highland Business Awards.

Mr Taylor added: “We’re incredibly proud of the impact the Pathway Fund has had so far, and this recognition from the Highland Business Awards only strengthens our commitment to giving back.

“We look forward to supporting more projects that make a real difference in our communities.”
