The local minister applied for a £4000 grant from a community interest company who run the enchanted forest in Pitlochry. The company has sold 38000 tickets this year and they are not cheap. The company also gets money from local companies to make this happen.
This is meant to be not for profit company and reinvests in the community yet our local minister who is always doing things for the community was refused a small grant in comparison to the ticket sales for bringing a community together.
I find this appalling and I am seeking signatures to make this not for profit community company to rethink its community funding.they only donate £5000 in total back to the community when the ticket sales alone are more than £350,000. Remember this is a not for profit community company.

Seeing this much momentum makes me feel a bit less alone in this fight because it proves I am not the only one who sees the hypocrisy here. It is exhausting work to challenge a group this large but your backing gives me the strength to keep pushing for an answer.

Absolute disgrace. They make so much money off tourists but wont help the people actually living here.
The community does so much for this event and they should be giving way more back to us.
Really hope they rethink this because 5000 is nothing compared to what they make. shameful.
This project to build a swimming pool for the community is a wonderful thing, and I do hope that this will happen for the lovely people in Pitlochry.
save a good cause and a good friend x
good luck
