Community Centre Moving into Local Ownership

Stromness Community Development Trust is working closely with Orkney Islands Council and the Scottish Land Fund towards a mid-March handover of the Stromness Community Centre.

This marks an important milestone for the town, placing one of Stromness’ key community spaces directly into local ownership and creating the opportunity for the community to shape its future.

Following the transfer, the focus will be on developing a sustainable operating model and strengthening the Centre’s role as an active hub at the heart of the community.

As part of the transition, the Trust is currently reaching out to existing users of the Centre to ensure their needs and experiences help inform the next phase of development.

Further updates will be shared as we move towards the transfer.
