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 and East Lothian Out of School Care Network |
 |
|
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 new heating
system is now up and running in the annexe building. Many thanks to the
contractors Connaught and Sitec for the minimum of disruption to all our
classes and groups. This was made
possible by a grant of £39,500 towards the total cost from the Musselburgh
Common Good Fund. Funding has also been applied for to replace the heating
system in the main building, which will be the next part of the renovation
works. |
