Objectives and activities
----- End of picture text -----
Charitable purposes The Trust has been formed for the benefit of the residents of the parish of Kilmaronock. The organisation's main purpose is consistent with furthering the achievement of sustainable development and includes: e The advancement of citizenship or community development, e The advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science e The provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended. Summary of the main activities The Trust's initial activity was to investigate the feasibility of using the in relation to these objects unused Kilmaronock Church building as a community owned multi-use venue. As this has demonstrated viability, the Trust has now purchased the building, car park, and adjacent glebe, has carried out external — building fabric improvements, is in the process of carrying out internal renovations, and plans to run the facility as a multi-use community owned venue, with an emphasis on heritage. The Trust will promote sustainable development - meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Achievements and performance Behe Mae Steady and significant progress has been made by KOKT during 2025. In summary this comprises: External Building Works = * Regular maintenance checks have been carried out with gutter clearing, lightning protection verification etc. carried out as required. internal Renovations and Associated Works * Progress regarding the proposed internal renovation works advanced significantly during the first 5 months of the year. On the funding front we were in the very fortunate position to have raised sufficient additional funds, pledged or received, to match the generous National Lottery Heritage Fund grant of £245k. This came from several sources including the Fraser Foundation, Historic Environment Scotland, FCCC, Garfield Weston plus several others, but significantly also from the local community. In parallel with this the required building warrants and other statutory requirements were successfully obtained and negotiations with our preferred tenderer for the works reached a stage where the proposed cost for the works matched the available funding for this element of the overall project.

As such the works commenced in June 2025 and were successfully completed in October 2025, allowing the building to be again ‘open for business.’ The works included the provision of a kitchen and toilets, a

eos + .-Qlazed screen to the gallery area which essentially constitutes a heritage hub, plus overall redecoration. Due to balancing cashflow the inclusion of a lift was omitted at this time, but the intention is to install this in the first half of 2026.
Heritage
-
The tender process for the heritage interpretation, design and installation of heritage displays progressed satisfactorily.in the early part of the year allowing the preferred consultant, Stuco Design, to be appointed in May. Following this an intensive programme of consultations, meetings, searches through a multitude of historical
-
” records and artefacts from the Kilmaronock area was held with the KOKT heritage group. This culminated in co-authored displays at the entrance gates, ground floor and gallery in the kirk, together with various artefacts and touch screen in the gallery. The installation process for this was largely completed by the end of November albeit that there are a few areas where further details will be added.
-
- The funding package agreed with The National Lottery Fund also included for the services of a ‘heritage activities co-ordinator’, to be taken on over 2 years on a part time basis, 60 hours per month. This position was advertised, and we received very good high-quality responses. 4 personnel were selected for interview with one clear candidate emerging, and who will start the position at the beginning of January 2026. Focus of activities will include - research into the crusader’s stone, graveyard survey and tours, family history research, stairwell mural, heritage for heroes’ well-being area in the north meadow, archaeological digs of the day.
North Plot/Well Being Meadow
- Funding from Forth Valley & Lomond CCLD has allowed us, after competitive tendering, to appoint a landscape architect to provide a design for the key elements of the intended well-being meadow to the north of the kirk. There is a significant drop in level from the kirk door to this area and one of the design challenges is to allow for appropriate disabled access. With a detailed topographical survey undertaken this work started in November and will progress into the early part of 2026.
Administration Aspects
- Governance issues have continued during the period with relevant items being updated as required e.g. annual memberships. Monthly meetings of Trustees have continued with these being held mainly in the old kirk, together with other numerous ad hoc meetings e.g. with architects, trustee sub-groups, contractors, tenderers, and potential suppliers.
Events
« Another successful plant sale/open day was held in the car park in the late spring, combined with escorted visits of the graveyard and inside the church. 2 funeral services and one memorial service have been held during the year, with average attendance about 140. Summer and autumn activities were limited due to the internal renovation works, but before these 3 afternoon ecumenical services were held. A service was held in recognition of the substantial completion of the renovation works in October 2025. More significantly a month later, a special service was also held to commemorate 700 years of recorded ministry at Kilmaronock, initiated by Robert the Bruce in 1325. About 130 people attended this service, with about the same number at a candlelit carol service just before Christmas.
