Elderly residents in Dunshalt and Auchtermuchty benefit from a generous trust fund established by a village resident a long time ago. This fund is administered locally by the Community Association and distributed in the form of an annual voucher to all elegible residents. This voucher can be redeemed in the Dunshalt Shop at Xmas, donated to a local charitable cause e.g. food bank, donated to support local facilities e.g. Defibrillator, Playpark, Dunshalt in Bloom or in full or part payment for agreed seniors events e.g. Xmas Lunch, Bus Trip etc.

If you live in the village and have recently had a 60th birthday, or are aged 60 plus and are new to the village, please be sure to send your name and address to This email address is being protected from spambots.
