Grant funding
|
We are extremely pleased and grateful to hear that Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes announced that our Sgoil Chàirinis redevelopment project has been awarded £599,000 Regeneration Capital Grant funding as one of 32 projects, which will create jobs and regenerate communities across Scotland and will benefit from funding set out in the 2026-27 Scottish Budget. This represents a highly significant boost to realising completion of our project to create a sustainable, vibrant Community Heritage Centre. A big thank you to Ms Forbes and her officials. Also, to the Comhairle Members and officials who supported and enabled an application on our behalf. |
Tha sinn air leth toilichte agus taingeil cluinntinn gun do dh’ainmich an Leas-Phrìomh Mhinistear Kate Forbes gun deach maoineachadh Tabhartas Calpa Ath-nuadhachaidh de £599,000 a thoirt don phròiseact ath-leasachaidh againn airson Sgoil Chàirinis mar aon de 32 pròiseact, a chruthaicheas obraichean agus a ath-bheothaicheas coimhearsnachdan air feadh na h-Alba agus a gheibh buannachd bho mhaoineachadh a tha air a shuidheachadh a-mach ann am Buidseat na h-Alba 2026-27. Tha seo a’ riochdachadh àrdachadh mòr ann a bhith a’ crìochnachadh ar pròiseict gus Ionad Dualchas Coimhearsnachd seasmhach, beòthail a chruthachadh. Taing mhòr do Mhgr Forbes agus a h-oifigearan. Cuideachd, do Bhuill na Comhairle agus na h-oifigearan a thug taic agus a leig le tagradh às ar leth. |
We are also extremely grateful to NHS Western Isles for a grant of £33,780 towards our Community Heritage Centre project. The grant will enable us to install a defibrillator unit in a former telephone box near the main road; a shed and workshop to provide storage for grounds maintenance and gardening; and pedestrian access to the centre. All of these will support our desire to improve health and wellbeing by providing a highly visible and readily accessible emergency assistance facility; a place for people to gather to work on making and repairing articles and to support community gardening; and to improve accessibility to community events in the centre.
Late last year we secured £1.5 million from the UK Government’s Community Regeneration Partnership Fund, to support the restoration and redevelopment of Sgoil Chàirinis to form a Community Heritage Centre. For more details, here is the news release.

Construction works are underway at Sgoil Chàirinis. During this period there will be no public access via the original entrance on the north side of the building. To ensure your safety, and that of our collections, public access via the south side entrance can only be when a CEUT trustee or employee is present. |
