Local Community

With an active role in the local communities and the physical resource to lend a hand where possible, we are able to assist with a wide range of activities, from provision of premises and donations of Christmas trees to beach cleaning and tree planting. We also work closely with other local organisations, including Food From Fife and welcome any news or enquiries about local projects.

In June 2025 we ran a Community Engagement event at Bowhouse looking at the past 20 years of the estate and towards the next 20 years. You can read the full document and final event report below.

Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET)

In partnership with RHET, Balcaskie supports schools by providing
an opportunity to see where food comes from and how it fits into the
fabric of life in Fife and the East Neuk. Every year Balcaskie assists fellow
ENE member Gilston to host an open day welcoming over 250 children.

Beach Clean

We are surrounded by wonderful beaches in the East Neuk which play an important part in our eco-system of our area. Balcaskie are able to supply machinery to assist in the clean-up effort to ensure the local beaches are kept in the condition they deserve.
