Holm Community Heritage at St. Nicholas Kirk is dedicated to keeping the Ould Kirk in the ownership of the Community on a cultural, historical and social level as well as preserving this irreplaceable building and the character of the area for the future generations. Through themed exhibitions, concerts, book launches, an accessible wealth of archives and even weddings, it aims to bring the community together and share the area’s rich heritage.

Funding received!

We have been awarded nearly £10k from the Scottish Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) and another £1,000 from the Highlands and Islands Climate Action Fund to help develop the vestry at St Nicholas into a comfortable changing area for visiting artists. Along with some of our own funds, we have already installed a solar PV system and battery. This is the exciting first stage of a planned major development over the next two years, which we could not have achieved without the funding we have received.
