RHET Perth and Kinross Unveil New Education Trailer

The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) Perth & Kinross has announced the arrival of a brand-new trailer to help transport its wide range of educational resources to schools, farms, and community events across the region.

The purchase of the trailer was made possible thanks to the generous support of Azets, Branston, and Gillespie Macandrew, whose funding has allowed RHET to invest in this vital piece of equipment. In addition, Stirling Trailer Centre played a key role in the project, carrying out all the internal alterations needed to the trailer free of charge.

RHET Perth & Kinross works with schools to bring food, farming, and the working countryside to life for children, helping them understand where their food comes from and the role of farming in Scotland today. Daisy the cow, one of RHET’s most popular learning resources, is used to teach pupils about milk production and the dairy industry in a fun, interactive way.

Tara Clark, Project Coordinator for RHET Perth & Kinross, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have this new trailer. It means we can transport all of our resources — including Daisy — safely and efficiently, making it even easier to deliver high quality learning experiences for pupils. We are incredibly grateful to Azets, Branston, Gillespie Macandrew and Stirling Trailer Centre for their generous support — their contribution will make a real difference to the number of young people we can reach.”

The trailer will be used to deliver RHET’s core programme of farm visits, classroom talks, and food & farming events, reaching hundreds of children each year.

Kevin Imrie, general manager at Branston’s Scotland site, said: “The essential work the RHET undertakes to improve education around food and farming has our full support. We’re delighted to have been able to help to fund the trailer so that youngsters can get hands-on with learning activities. We hope this donation will help the team to reach even more young people across Scotland.”
