Bringing the Clan Trust Community Together at the 2026 Annual Dinner

On 17th April, the Clan Trust Annual Dinner brought together trustees, grant recipients and the organisations and individuals we are proud to support for an evening at Shotesham Park.

The event provided a valuable opportunity for people from across the Clan Trust community to come together, catch up and share stories. More than anything, it was a chance to celebrate the people behind the projects and initiatives making a difference across rural communities.

One of the most rewarding parts of the evening was seeing grant recipients alongside trustees and supporters in the same room - connecting, building relationships and hearing first-hand about the impact being made. While every organisation and individual has their own story, they are all united by a shared passion for supporting opportunities, improving lives and strengthening rural communities.

The evening reflected something that sits at the heart of the Clan Trust: creating meaningful connections and helping people feel supported as they continue their journeys. Whether through education, community projects or wider rural initiatives, seeing the people behind that work together in one place was a reminder of the difference collaboration can make.

Events like the Annual Dinner are an opportunity not only to reflect on achievements so far, but also to look ahead and continue building relationships that help support future generations.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success. We are incredibly proud to support such inspiring people and organisations and look forward to seeing what comes next.
