As part of its 35^th anniversary celebrations, Inverness-based roofing contractor Macleod Roofing has launched a new community fund dedicated to giving back to the Highlands.

From community halls and schools to hospitals and commercial developments, Macleod Roofing’s work spans towns and rural communities across the north of Scotland and beyond.

Alongside repairing and building roofs, Macleod Roofing actively backs its local communities, supporting youth teams and sports clubs, and contributing to community fundraising events.

In recent years, this has translated into a donation to the Elsie Normington Foundation, funding for a new Highland Hospice support van, backing projects at Raigmore Hospital’s Children’s Unit through The Archie Foundation, and delivering pro bono roofing works for community groups across the region, including the Inverness Sea Cadets.

New Community Fund

Now, Macleod’s new Community Fund aims to bring this approach together under one banner, providing a straightforward route for local charities, non-profits, schools, and community groups to apply for financial support, materials, practical roofing assistance or promotional backing, with an emphasis on projects that will deliver ‘meaningful and lasting benefit’ for people living in the Highlands.

Sandy Macleod, Managing Director of Macleod Roofing, explains: “For 35 years, we’ve worked in Highland communities every single day. We’ve grown because local people trusted us and supported us.

“We’re not a national corporation with endless resources, but we are incredibly proud of the difference we’ve been able to make in our own communities. My hope is that the fund will help ensure the support we give is shared fairly and reaches the projects that need it most.

“Ultimately, it’s about making sure we continue to stand behind the communities that have stood behind us. And if there’s a project that’s making a difference locally, we want to play our part, however big or small.”

Adding to this, as part of its Armed Forces Covenant commitment, the roofing firm will continue offering pro bono or discounted roof repairs each year for veterans and military families facing hardship across the region.

35 Years

Additionally, to mark its 35^th anniversary and the launch of the community fund, Macleod Roofing has also unveiled a newly sign-written anniversary van, which will travel across towns and villages throughout the Highlands in the months ahead.
