RHET Perth & Kinross Hits the Road
Brand-new education trailer helps to transport wide range of educational resources.
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 — including Daisy the fibreglass cow — to schools, farms, and community events across the region.
The purchase of the trailer was made possible thanks to the support of Azets, Branston, and Scottish law firm 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 securely house Daisy and a range of storage boxes. Their work, provided completely free of charge, ensures that Daisy and all RHET’s resources can be safely transported and ready to engage pupils wherever they go.
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, 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.
Alan White, Land and Rural Business Partner from Gillespie Macandrew said:
“Supporting RHET means supporting the next generation’s understanding of food, farming, and the environment,”
“As long standing advisors to the Rural sector, we are proud to play a part in helping make these experiences more accessible to schools across Perth & Kinross.”
RHET Perth & Kinross would also like to thank its network of volunteers and supporters who make its work possible.
