Take a Pride in Perth & Kinross Association
The Take a Pride in Perth & Kinross Association is a community-driven charity dedicated to enhancing and celebrating the beauty, heritage, and environment of Perth & Kinross. We support and empower a network of local groups and volunteers who share our passion for creating cleaner, greener, and more vibrant places to live, work, and visit...
Founded on the belief that everyone can make a difference, our Association provides guidance, resources, and encouragement to a wide range of community-led initiatives – whether it's transforming shared spaces, planting for biodiversity, preserving historical character, or promoting civic pride.
Working in partnership with local authorities, schools, businesses, and national organisations, we help groups foster a sense of ownership, collaboration, and pride across urban and rural communities alike. Our collaborative approach helps to shine a light on the remarkable efforts of those improving their local environment – and inspire others to join in.
Together, we’re building a legacy of pride, place, and participation throughout Perth & Kinross.
