As from 1st April 2006 the former Fisherrow Community
Centre, run by a local voluntary Management Committee, became The Fisherrow
Centre. The Committee dissolved its Association in favour of a Company
Limited by Guarantee run by local people as Trustees. The Fisherrow Trust,
as the Company is now known, is also registered as a Scottish Charity. |
 |
|
On the same day, the Trust signed a 99 year lease with
East Lothian Council to take over responsibility of the two former Fisherrow
School buildings to continue the community centre programme of classes,
activities and services. Office accommodation is also provided for voluntary
organisations. The current tenants are the Scottish Association of Mental
Health, East Lothian Out of School Care Network, and Action for Employment
(A4E). |
 |
|
Before its dissolution, the Fisherrow Community Centre Management Committee
raised funds sufficient to renovate the windows of both buildings and to
repair the roof, rainwater pipes and stonework of the main building. The
following funders made this possible. |
 |
|
- Forward Scotland (Transforming Your Space)
- Virador Credits (Aggregates Tax)
- The Tudor Trust
- Cruden Foundation
- Local Capital Grants Scheme
|
|
|
The next stage of the Renovation Project will be a new
heating system for the annexe building. |
