Give a swift a home!
It won’t be long until the Swifts arrive back for the summer. After travelling thousands of miles from Africa too many of these birds will find nowhere to nest. Installing a nest box is a simple and effective way to protect these wonderful birds and to allow the population to grow and thrive. Free nest box and installation for selected households!

Thank you to Badenoch Men's Shed for building the nest boxes for our new pilot funded by Kingussie Community Development Company

Calling all hoarders! Do you have an old bike stand gathering dust? We’re looking for donations of bike stands to support our work teaching bike maintenance Kingussie High School pupils. Tools and equipment aren’t cheap, so if you think you can help we would be very grateful 🙏.
Donations can be made to the Spin shop on Kingussie High Street on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday.

Thanks team!
