02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Friends of Campsie High Kirk is set up to restore the former Campsie High Kirk so it can be brought back into community use. Our aim is to transform the ruined structure into a safe and usable space for local events, heritage education, and visitors. We see the restoration of the High Kirk as a catalyst for tourism and community wealth building that can support regeneration in an area currently ranked within the top ten percent of Scotland’s most deprived communities. We work through conservation planning, fundraising, partnership building, and community engagement to return the building to productive use and create a sustainable asset for local people and visitors.
