Foundation invites groups to 'meet the trustees'

TRUSTEES of a charitable foundation are looking forward to meeting representatives of community groups during an informal drop-in event.

The Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation is hosting a Meet the Trustees session at The Gallery in Elgin Library on Monday, running from 1-4pm.

Foundation manager Kay Jackson said the session is designed for anyone who wants to have a chat with trustees about their community projects.

It will be a friendly and informal drop-in event and is open to those who might be interested in looking at potential funding avenues.

Operating across the north of Scotland, The Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation supports good causes thanks to the legacy of its entrepreneurial founders.

Gordon and Ena built Baxters of Speyside into a global brand, and decided to ‘spread a little fertiliser’ in their local community.

Today, the Foundation – www.gebfoundation.com – supports a huge variety of causes. Trustees meet regularly throughout the year to consider applications large and small, putting Gordon and Ena’s legacy to good use.

People are welcome to attend Monday's drop-in event at any point.
