02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Lockerbie Old School is a community-led charity redeveloping a former primary school into a not-for-profit community and enterprise hub for Lockerbie and the surrounding area. Our aim is to support community regeneration, reduce social isolation, and create opportunities for local people. We are doing this by delivering a major capital renovation project and developing plans to operate the building as a flexible, affordable space for community groups, social activities, learning, and local businesses. Once open, the hub will provide room hire, co-working space, and events. Any income generated will be reinvested into the charity to ensure long-term sustainability and continued benefit to the community.
