Stronger Together
Our Partners
Maud Village Trust doesn't work alone. Every service we deliver, every person we support, every challenge we overcome - it happens through collaboration with organisations who share our commitment to Central Buchan.
Why Partnership Matters
No single organisation can meet every community need. Complex challenges require coordinated responses. Families struggling with multiple issues need joined-up support, not fragmented services that don't talk to each other.
That's why partnership sits at the heart of everything we do.
By working alongside healthcare providers, local authorities, voluntary organisations, businesses, and community groups, we create something more powerful than the sum of its parts: a safety net that actually works, services that reach the people who need them, and support that addresses root causes rather than just symptoms.
Our partners bring expertise, funding, resources, and connections. We bring community knowledge, accessible facilities, and the ability to coordinate support in one place. Together, we make impact possible.
