02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Gullane Village Association (GVA) was formed in June 2021, borne out of the recognition that the village needed to build on the amazing community spirit formed over the pandemic, that there needed to be a voice for and within the village, a way to connect many community groups and to ensure that no further community assets were lost for future generations to benefit from. We manage a community hall, leased from East Lothian council, that hosts a range of events across education, wellbeing and social connection affordable activities for the local community. Typical monthly hall usage is 80 bookings by 20 community groups for 200 users and 1000 uses hall each month. Our current focus is running and facilitating a programme of well-being activities. Our other key activity is produce and deliver to each local household a quarterly newsletter built from contributions from local groups, services and businesses, this helps connect and inform our community.
