THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO SAVE THE CHURCH BUILDING FOR THE COLINTRAIVE COMMUNITY

and create a beautiful sustainable muti-purpose venue for all

The Colintraive Church has been an integral and iconic part of our community for over 180 years.

We have now been able to purchase the building and we are now raising funds to: 

• Future proof the church building for the 21st century

• Adapt the Church building into TidesMeet - a small, flexible, tranquil space and a venue that we, the community, can hire and use for a range of activities, such as small concerts, workshops, book groups, singing, 'coffee and chat’. A hub where we can meet in a small and comfortable setting, making the most of the natural light and acoustic potential, and complementing rather than competing with any existing facility.

• Retain the building as a church for occasional worship, weddings, funerals and other ceremonies

How much will it cost?

We need to raise an initial £60,000 to do urgent repairs and stop the water ingress. Also to maintain the building while we upgrade the facilities.

Our plan is to raise an additional £150,000  to make essential internal and external improvements: install running water, a kitchen area, a disabled toilet, disabled access, internal and external drainage and to reconfigure the space to improve flexibility. We hope to raise the bulk of this additional funding from external third party funders and any donations will be used for these upgrades.
