Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust
About This Funder
Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (PKHT), an independent Scottish charity established in 1988, is dedicated to protecting, conserving, enhancing, and promoting the historic environment across the Perth and Kinross local authority area. As one of Scotland’s core area-based heritage trusts, it drives heritage-led regeneration for economic, social, and environmental benefits through conservation, education, community engagement, archaeology, interpretation, outreach, and skills training in traditional trades. PKHT collaborates with local authorities, Historic Environment Scotland, and partners like the Gannochy Trust, managing the statutory Historic Environment Record, archaeological projects (e.g., Strath Tay rock art), school programmes, events, and policy advocacy to foster community pride and sustainable place-making.
It funds specific projects via the Community Heritage Grants Scheme and Perth City Heritage Fund, prioritising historic building repairs (especially listed/traditional properties in Perth Central and Kinnoull Conservation Areas), monuments conservation, community recording/research, interpretation, heritage festivals/events, and skills development—over £1 million awarded in the latter fund's early phases to at-risk landmarks like Inchbank House and John Buchan's House. Grants emphasise measurable regeneration impact rather than core costs.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and small-to-medium community groups based in or delivering within Perth and Kinross; no strict income limits, but preference for local, community-focused entities. Unsolicited applications accepted with stages: EOI/pre-application first (rolling for Perth City Fund), then full form. Biannual decisions on 31 January and 31 July; Community Grants up to £5,000 typically, Perth City varying by scope (confirm limits directly). Excludes non-heritage projects, national/large organisations, or work outside the area. Distinctive for its integrated grant-making, direct project management, archival stewardship, and proactive sectoral leadership.
