Giving back to our community.
The magic doesn’t end in the forest
Every year, thousands of people step into The Enchanted Forest to experience something extraordinary.
But the impact of The Enchanted Forest extends far beyond the woodland trails of Faskally.
Through The Enchanted Forest Community Trust, the success of the event is reinvested directly into the communities of Highland Perthshire – supporting local charities, community groups and projects that make this place so special.
We are proud to be at the heart of this community. From youth organisations and community halls to mental health services, arts organisations, sports clubs and environmental initiatives, the Trust exists to create lasting benefits for the people and places at the heart of Highland Perthshire. This year, we’re especially proud to have re-structured our funding so that projects in Pitlochry, our home community, are even more likely to benefit.
The true legacy of The Enchanted Forest isn’t just the magic happens in the forest each autumn – it’s what happens in our community all year round.
You can also donate to our charity and continue this vital work here.

Behind every grant is a story. A young person discovering a new opportunity. A community hall remaining open for local residents. A mental health project reaching people who need support. A sports club welcoming its new members. An arts organisation bringing people together.

Previously Funded Organisations
Since 2016 The Enchanted Forest Community Trust has donated tens of thousands of pounds to local community groups and projects from proceeds generated from ticket sales to the annual event.
