@ Extensive Community Engagement, including a structured consultation with 629 responses (99.4% in favour of preservation), and hosting the first public event at the Kirk since 1976.
@ Strategic Advocacy and Political Engagement, with support
@ National Media Coverage, positioning FoCHK as a leading example of community-led heritage regeneration.
@ Successful Fundraising Initiatives, including a national raffle featuring high-profile contributions.
@ Commissioning Simpson & Brown Architects to lead a feasibility and stabilisation study, laying the groundwork for future reuse.
@ These achievements reflect the charity's commitment to sustainable development, heritage preservation, and community empowerment.

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

financial reserves. However, the Trustees have adopted a reserves policy to guide future financial planning. The charity aims to build unrestricted reserves equivalent to three months of core operating costs to ensure financial resilience and continuity of services.
