    10 am to 4 pmPaisley Abbey

    This event, organised the the National Churches Trust,  is for everyone who helps to care for a place of worship or former place of worship in community use in Scotland.

    Join us at the wonderful Paisley Abbey to chat with funders and advisers all under one roof. They are there to help support all aspects of the work within your church building, whether it is from community, heritage, faith, tourism, or climate action sectors.

    Whether you are a congregation looking to repair a roof or to expand your community outreach; or a community organisation considering how to prepare a business plan and get advice on which insurance you will need, there will be someone there to help.

    Meet with the experts across the sectors and chat with churches, communities and organisations who have already tackled the challenges you are facing. Talks and stalls will enable you to discuss tourism, insurance, maintenance, income generation (contactless/online donations), eco-solutions, and much more with experts. We will be sharing ideas, inspiration, tips and practical support. The event will also be a great opportunity to network with those facing similar challenges and exchanging ideas and contacts.

    More details, as they emerge.
