Is there a future for the Elie Parish Church?
In September a newly formed Elie Parish Church Group held the Doors Open Day and had around 110 people visit the church on the day. The open day gave people the opportunity to see how the church space could be repurposed and to ask questions. We received lots of positive comments and feedback from those who came along to the open day. Based on this we moved ahead with plans to form a Community Benefit Society (CBS) which would allow us to progress with a feasibility study and apply for funding to help support the feasibility study. We are working with The Plunkett Foundation who are supporting us in setting up the CBS and have a further meeting with them later this month to progress this. We have also been learning from other groups who have been through similar acquisitions and recently attended a meeting held by the National Churches Trust - Building Sustainable Futures for Scottish Churches which was held at Paisley Abbey on 1 November where case studies were shared. The group is currently working to obtain quotes for the necessary tasks required for the feasibility study which include an independent valuation, a condition survey by a building surveyor, a high level business plan and an architect to support with proposed plans.
We have kept the Church of Scotland updated on the progress and made them aware that the community would be interested in taking ownership of the church when it is disposed of.
