The Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust develops sustainable, high quality programmes that include everyone who wants to learn.  We provide cash grants usually on a match-funded basis, and work closely with schools, communities and councils to design successful programmes that attract high numbers of pupils and that give them enriching experiences.
