Join us for this online talk to find out how communities are rescuing churches at risk.
Historic Churches Scotland is a charity that works in partnership with communities to secure the future of historic churches at risk through closure.
The charity has eight nationally significant historic churches in its care and is investigating taking on other buildings that meet its criteria. Historic Churches Scotland also provides support and guidance to locally-led organisations looking to, or who already own a church for the benefit of the community.
The speaker
Victoria Collison-Owen has worked for Historic Churches Scotland for over 20 years, building up an extensive picture of the ecclesiastical heritage sector in Scotland. Monitoring church closures over time has allowed her to identify particular trends and patterns including rates and types of disposal, community ownership, and reuse options.
How does it work?
This talk will be recorded and shared with you to watch ‘on demand’ until 31 October.
This is part of a series of five online talks exploring the current issue of church closures in Scotland, and how these buildings and communities can be helped.
You can book this talk individually or book all five talks in this series as a block, at a discounted rate of £30 (£25 for SPAB Members).

You will need laptop, phone or device with internet connection. You will not be visible on screen and you can ask questions via the webinar's Q&A function.
