About usThe Pebble Trust is a registered Scottish Charity, number SC044593. Details of our trustees and contact details are available on our website, www.thepebbletrust.org.

We are able to offer grant funding for projects which support our vision of a more sustainable and equal society, where constraints on fossil fuels lead to a more localised economy with stronger, more resilient, communities, and where human activities take account of climate change and the wider environment. We currently limit applications to amounts of up to £5,000, and projects in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
