The Eilidh MacLeod Memorial Trust was established in memory of the talented 14-year-old piper from the Outer Hebrides who died in the Manchester Arena attack in May 2017 at the end of the Ariane Grande concert. The trust supports music education for children and young people across Scotland reflecting Eilidh’s own love of music and her musical ability and enjoyment as a piper with the local school’s pipe band. Eilidh loved being part of the piping community and made many friends when performing and competing locally and nationally. Since 2018, the trust has supported thousands of young musicians of all genres and disciplines having made over £100,000 worth of small grants. Pipers, drummers and pipe bands feature prominently among the 100+ grants made.
We hope that you can consider making a donation to help keep Piping Live! coming back bigger and better!
