North Highland Initiative
www.northhighlandinitiative.co.uk/
North Highland Initiative works across Caithness, Sutherland, Ross & Cromarty, Wester Ross, Easter Ross and the islands of Orkney, Shetland, Lewis and Harris to deliver programmes and grant funding that help grow and champion the potential of our natural resources and talent, encourage economic stability and build diverse resilient communities.
NHI actively supports communities through fundraising and grant making and collaborates with community groups to identify projects that support community infrastructure, services and well-being. In the last five years NHI has donated over £240,000 to community-led projects and programmes.
North Highland Products Ltd (NHP), the trading arm of the charity, which includes the renowned Mey Selections brand, works with local farmers and suppliers, offering high-quality, locally sourced, and sustainable produce. This partnership has generated over £1.7 million in additional income for local farmers and opened market opportunities for producers in the Highlands. Funds from the sales also directly support local community and environmental projects as well as championing our farms and farmers’ future and supports rural skills education programmes.

Ten North Highlands Communities Benefit From Projects To Rebalance Tourism
A series of workshop-based projects are helping ten local areas across the North Highlands pioneer a community-first visitor-second approach to tourism. Following the success of the pilot, the organisers are keen to hear from other communities across the North Highlands who want to use this tailored approach to make tourism work better for them.
New Fellowship Launched To Support Small North Highlands Farms And Make Local Food More Widely Available
A new Fellowship has been launched, providing funding for research into supporting the viability and sustainability of crofts and small farms in the North Highlands. The project seeks to investigate the potential of small to medium sized regenerative farmers to work at a scale that would allow them to supply to local hotels and restaurants, local shops and supermarkets.
