An Cridhe
A new Community Centre for the Isle of Coll

 

 

Last Dance...

The project to build a new community centre and associated bunkhouse is making great progress. Detailed reports can be seen at the community notice board in the bottom left hand corner of the site field and you can also find this information and regularly updated photographs on this website. While we have secured a full funding package for the build of the project, we still need to raise money for the following areas. In order of priority:

1. The cost of the bridging loan (with tight control on cash flow and borrowing this cost has been brought down from an anticipated £26,000 to £15,000)

2. Items which were not included in the original specification (eg stage lighting rig and equipment, PA system, bike rack or picnic bench )

3. Icing on the cake (eg a bespoke reception desk)

If you would like to know any more about the event or if your company would like to sponsor the event, please get in touch.
