Community

Community is our third core value and someting that has always been an intrinsic part of life at Kames. As part of our FUTURE50 iniative in 2022 to celebrate the next 50 years of Kames, we established a formalised Community Fund. We’ve always supported local ventures but we want to make it easier to apply for Kames funding and to establish our own fundraising activities that can go towards this fund.

We have operated in and around Argyll for over fifty years and in that time have always cared for and respected the shared environment in which we operate, and the communities it supports. Our unique insight and knowledge drives our commitment to ensure we maintain good practice and continue to seek ways to improve and protect it for future generations.
