choice, in addition to the larger grants awarded by the company’s Heart of the Community Fund.
In Oban, Lismore East Farm manager David MacMillan decided to donate his grant to the Oban Camanachd club’s youth programme.
The Under 14s, which David coaches, often need new helmets, balls and other equipment, including shinty sticks, which cost around £100.

‘The money goes a long way,’ said David, whose son plays in the team. ‘We’re still using Scottish Sea Farms sponsored strips donated a few years ago.
‘Since we started playing again after Covid, there’s been a lot of local interest in shinty. We train every Thursday and travel as far as Glasgow for games.’
The hard work and, of course, the good coaching has clearly paid off because the team, 13 boys and one girl, have just won the South Under 14s League Cup.
