Projects cover vital first aid enhancements through the installation of defibrillators in key locations and the provision of free Heart Start training. We have also contributed to projects that encourage local people of all ages to get active and take advantage of our beautiful outdoor environment such as the refurbishment of the playpark on Aboyne Green and the construction of the bike park in the Bell Wood.

Volunteering is a rewarding experience for all who participate. We have a great team who operate our community buses. If you are interested in joining the team, getting involved with your community, learning a new skill or you just want to help others, we would love to hear from you. We offer accredited training at National Standards to all our volunteer drivers. 

The Bell Wood was bought on behalf of the community by Mid Deeside Community Trust in 2003 after consultation showed that there was a demand for improved public access and a more natural habitat. In 2003, Mid Deeside Community Trust was granted a 99 year lease on the Lady Wood on the western side of the village.

Our vision is to support the communities of Mid Deeside to flourish. 

Mid Deeside Community Trust (formerly known as Mid Deeside Ltd) was set up in 1996 as a means for people in the Mid Deeside area to develop projects of local benefit and interest. These projects may be of a social, health, educational, cultural or economic purpose.
