Community Asset Transfer completion

 Celebration and Thanks for Community Asset Transfer


We are thrilled to announce that the community asset transfer process has finally reached its conclusion! After a long and challenging journey that began over three years ago, we can now celebrate this significant achievement. The completion of this process means our community hub and the surrounding land are secured for future generations, providing us with a solid foundation to embark on our energy transition and undertake retrofitting initiatives.




Our focus on achieving energy security and production will empower our community to withstand extreme weather events and build climate change resilience. This process has demanded immense personal investment from many of us, and we believe we deserve a well-earned break. The Hub will remain open over the Christmas and New Year holidays, but two of our main staff members will be taking time off after our festive celebration on December 13. 


We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our supporters and friends who have been supportive on this journey. Our story has become a shining example of what can be achieved, and we hope it inspires many other community centres to undertake asset transfers across the country as they work towards the net-zero goals outlined in international agreements.


A special thanks to the Scottish Land Fund for their stage one funding for the Community Asset Transfers, as well as their generous award in stage two of £82,000 and one pound! This funding was crucial in helping us purchase the property from Falkirk District Council for a nominal price of £1. We also thank the Strategic Property Review for their support, which allowed us to take over this vital community asset at a time when the District Council was grappling with energy poverty and the need for closure of countless assets.


Their willingness to let us buy the asset for such a small amount, along with additional funding for our decarbonisation projects, has opened new pathways for our community. We have been recognised by various governmental bodies as a pioneering grassroots group, and it is our mission to lead by example in teaching permaculture and achieving our Sustainable Development Goals. 


We invite more people to join us in this exciting journey as we continue to develop our community and embrace sustainability. Together, we can make a positive impact!

Good things happen when good people come together and you are always at the heart of our h U b

First years heat and power

Image
Our first year -  Heat and Power Management Last year at this time, we faced numerous challenges in discovering how to take a meter reading for our electricity. It was not easy, and even the strategic property review team at the council struggled with it. In the end, Claire figured out how to take the electric meter reading. EDF placed us on their emergency tariff, which took effect on October 1, 2024. The initial bill from this tariff caused us significant headaches, resulting in days lost to phone calls, meetings, emails, and letters. However, we can now celebrate a success story: Claire took our meter readings on the evening of September 30, 2025. We now have the exact figures for kilowatt-hours used and the associated costs for our first full year. Claire continues to take monthly readings and monitor our tariff. We also know the kWh usage from the council in previous years. Our sustainability manager is working on his impact report for our first year, which isn’t ready for pub...

We Love the Pollinators

We Love the Pollinators Our bookings coordinator came to the gardening group in a panic. She had found a wasp infestation in the ladies' toilet. "Oh no!" exclaimed our gardener, "we have an event happening this weekend, and we can't close them off!" We needed to deal with the wasps. He went to investigate the infestation, making sure there were no ladies in the toilets. Sure enough, he found a lot of wasps flying around. He managed to get some out the window, but more quickly returned. He had to figure out how they were getting in. It didn’t take long to realize they were entering through a gap at the bottom of the wastewater pipe, which we easily covered to stop them from accessing the toilets. At least the event would be safe to use the ladies' restroom. Further inspection revealed that many wasps were coming through the brickwork to the underside of the building. We contacted the lead of the local wildlife group, who came to assess the situation ...

our current electric heaters (pun intended)

                         Our Electric Heaters When we took over operations from the council, we inherited their electric heating system in the wooden areas hub rooms. Unfortunately, these sections lacked good insulation and are very draughty. Many of the heaters were not functioning properly when we took over; there were numerous heaters constantly switched on, showing red lights and making noise—drawing electricity but giving off no heat. We immediately turned off all of these faulty heaters and placed "Broken - Do Not Switch On" signs at their switches. Not only were many heaters not working, but some of those that did were covered with wooden radiator covers, which hinder convection, especially as these heaters had no fans. All of the rooms were equipped with two-kilowatt wall radiators, while the hallway had four efficient, wall-mounted fan-assisted one-kilowatt el...
