What the charity exists to do
Our charity was set up to acquire St Ernan's Church, which was being disposed of by the Church of Scotland, and to develop it is a 'quiet place' for local people and others. We have spent much of 2025 dealing with legal matters relating to acquisition. We hold regular meetings, raise funds, identify grants and update the local community. We have a membership scheme.
