📣 Do you live or work in North Berwick and wish to use your skills to help your local community?

⭐️⭐️North Berwick Trust is currently looking for new Trustees and Community Group Members.⭐️⭐️

We are seeking to recruit a mix of Trustees and Community Group Members to complement existing skill sets among members of the Board and three Trust working groups (which focus on Estates, Finance and Grants).

These are voluntary positions. Trustee appointments are for an initial 3-year term, with the potential to continue for a further 3-year term. Community Group Members do not have a fixed term.

If you have a strong connection to North Berwick (perhaps you live or work in the area) and have time to dedicate to this role, we would love to hear from you.

Further information, along with the application form, can be found on our website.

The closing date for applications is Monday 30th November 2026.

North Berwick Trust Ltd is inviting local residents to help shape proposals for a new development at Pilgrims Way, North Berwick, designed to support people who live and work locally and create long-term value for the town.

The proposals for land at the gap site between 16 and 18 Pilgrims Way have been developed following extensive consideration of how the site can best serve the community.

The design comprises 2,500 sq ft of retail space and 600 sq ft of community space alongside 40 one and two bedroom rental flats, designed primarily to support key workers living locally. There would also be 53 car parking spaces, including 13 associated with the retail and community facilities.

A drop-in public consultation will take place on 22 October 2026, 1.00 – 8.00 pm at North Berwick Sports Centre, giving local residents, businesses and community organisations the opportunity to view the proposals, speak with the project team and provide feedback.
