Paisley Abbey

Bringing together funders and advisers from the heritage, community, faith, climate, and tourism sectors under the wonderful roof of Paisley Abbey.

Bringing together funders and advisers from the heritage, community, faith, climate, and tourism sectors under the wonderful roof of Paisley Abbey, giving you the opportunity to meet and chat with those people out there, offering support to the wonderful work being carried out in our churches across Scotland. Throughout the day there will be talks from each of the sectors, and the opportunity to discuss any projects you may have, or are considering, directly with the funders and organisations.

Overview

Whether you are a congregation looking to repair a roof or to expand your community outreach; or a community organisation considering how to prepare a business plan and get advice on which insurance you will need, there will be someone there to help.

Meet with the experts across the sectors and chat with churches, communities and organisations who have already tackled the challenges you are facing. Talks and stalls will enable you to discuss tourism, insurance, maintenance, income generation (contactless/online donations), eco-solutions, and much more with experts. They will be sharing ideas, inspiration, tips and practical support. The event will also be a great opportunity to network with those facing similar challenges and exchanging ideas and contacts.
