02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The objectives of the Gifford Community Association, as outlined in its constitution, are to ‘advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants of Gifford’. In practice this involves the day-to-day management and maintenance of the historic Gifford Village Hall, so that it can be used by many clubs, societies and individuals within the Gifford area. Since the GCA receives no external funding, much of its work involves fundraising to cover the ever-increasing costs of running the hall.
