Your generosity reach new heights is helping young people

Sports hall makeover at Lendrick Muir

Lastyear our amazing supporters donated a total of £260,000 to the Lendrick Muir Development Appeal, which has facilitated muchneeded improvements to the centre. The focus of our developments was turning our aged sports hall into a multifunctional space, creating greater options for wet weather and winter activities.

The most exciting new addition is the climbing wall, which will help young people to grow in confidence, ability and teamwork as they solve problems, improve coordination skills and celebrate together as they reach new heights (both literally and metaphorically!).

We’ve also been able to make the sports hall a more useable space with new flooring and heating. Acoustic curtains suppress the sound and allow multiple groups to use the space, and it’s all had a fresh lick of paint.

We’re so grateful to each and every person that made a gift to this appeal. The developments at Lendrick Muir will not only benefit those that visit, but they add an extra element of appeal to the centre, attracting new groups. Your generosity is creating more opportunities for children and young people to not only grow personally but to encounter our amazing God!

Growing the impact of Alltnacriche

ThisAugust, our special ministries appeal will be to raise funds for developments at Alltnacriche. It is our oldest centre and 2023 marks its 35th anniversary. The site has evolved over the years, and now has a team of 12 committed and skilled staff welcoming almost 2,500 guests each year.

We want to develop Alltnacriche so that it can operate at capacity in winter months, adding new indoor activities and space for ministry. The team at Alltnacriche have a real passion for ensuring the centre is accessible for all, and this will be a focus for the upcoming appeal.

Dave Moss, Alltnacriche Centre Manager says: 'We’re excited to see what we can do at Alltnacriche in partnership with SU Scotland supporters.

'Our vision is to see more young people experience the Christian faith in a meaningful way, exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus. We believe that the impact of this investment will enable this by enhancing activities, improving accessibility and reach and extending our viable operating season.' 
