02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Carronshore Heritage Forum is a community-led charity established to preserve and promote the history of Carronshore while strengthening community spirit within the village. Its aim is to celebrate local heritage, create educational opportunities, and bring residents together through inclusive projects and events. The Forum achieves this by delivering practical heritage and community initiatives, including installing historical information boards, developing local heritage trails, and creating memorials such as the Carronshore War Memorial to honour those who served in the world wars. It also organises community activities and events—such as talks, coffee mornings, festive celebrations and social gatherings—to encourage participation and reduce social isolation. Working with volunteers, local businesses and partner organisations, the charity raises funds and secures grants to support projects that educate residents about the village’s past while improving the local environment a
