Our Year in Review – At Beith Trust, this past year has been all about people, place, and purpose.
We’ve seen our community step up and stand together — whether it was through volunteering time, sharing ideas, or simply showing up for each other. We launched new ventures like Beith Hive, expanded Geilsland Enterprise, and made significant strides toward a more sustainable and resilient Beith, including the installation of a community-owned renewable energy system.
We provided childcare and creative play to support working families, ran holiday programmes to keep kids active and connected, and continued to tackle food insecurity, social isolation, and wellbeing head-on through projects like Free Food Friday and Lend an Ear.
From the Astro pitch to the woodland paths, from growing spaces to governance meetings, we’ve been inspired by the energy, ideas, and commitment of the people of Beith.
It hasn’t always been easy, but together, we’ve kept moving forward.
People
As we look to the future, our focus remains on sustainable growth and development. Our upcoming projects aim to further invest in people, places, and businesses, strengthening the fabric of our community. We’re exploring innovative ways to enhance community spaces, support local entrepreneurship, and increase youth participation.
Place
Geilsland Estate, Beith Astro, and our growing town centre presence have continued to thrive as spaces for community life. We’ve invested in making these places greener, more welcoming, and more useful — from play and sport to food growing and events. These shared spaces aren’t just backdrops; they’re the setting for connection, activity, and possibility.
Purpose
Our purpose remains simple and powerful: to make Beith a better place to live, work, and grow. Every project, conversation, and investment this year has been rooted in community needs and ambition. By supporting wellbeing, reducing poverty, and building opportunity, we’re helping shape a future that’s fairer, greener, and led by the people who live here.
