WATIF Community Trust supports the rural villages of Woolfords, Auchengray, Tarbrax and surrounding areas. We support the long-term social, economic and environmental wellbeing of the region and the people who live here.
Our work focuses on strengthening rural communities, reducing isolation, creating opportunities and helping locals shape the future of the area. We support and deliver a wide range of projects, activities and services designed to respond to local needs and make this a great place to live, work and connect.
We offer grants, community transport, volunteering and skills development opportunities, environmental and growing projects, a wood workshop, tearoom and community events.
WATIF owns Loanhead Farm which operates as the base for staff and provides space for community activities and our tearoom.
Our vision is simple: A beautiful and vibrant place, with a great quality of life for all.
