Grant Applications Successful!!

We're delighted to confirm that we have received funding of £50,000 each from the Crown Estate's Community-led Local Development Fund, OIC's Community Development Fund and The Orkney Trust, as stated in the really positive article in this week's The Orcadian (Thursday, June 4, 2026 edition).

This funding will go towards our ambitious 2-year renovation project, which will see sympathetic improvements made to the building to bring to life our vision of how the Kirk may better serve as a multi-functional community space, while still maintaining its very special character and atmosphere.

The below pictures serve as an illustration of how the interior could look, with all displays being fully movable, enabling the space to be used for concerts, events, etc, as we have been used to doing in the past.

This is a really exciting time for the Charity – we are so pleased that the hard work done by the Building Sub-Committee in putting together the funding applications has been successful and we will be providing updates of the work over the coming months.
