Story

4th West Lothian Scout Group are currently raising funds to redevelop our hall, MacKinnon Hall, with work scheduled to start this summer.

The key aims of the redevelopment project are :-

1. Provide the local community with a modern, energy efficient facility which is a much needed resource in the area 2. A reduction of our carbon emissions by 70% 3. A more engaged and educated community on energy efficient behaviours

The total cost of the project is 160K of which we have already secured more than half of the funding and are currently awaiting feedback regarding a significant chunk of the balance from a number of different funding organisations and corporate businesses.

The one area where we are struggling to secure funding for is in relation to our disabled access ramp as this is deemed a statutory requirement and as such tends not to be supported. We have managed to secure some funding but in an attempt to address the short fall we have decided to take matters into our own hands and would appreciate your support in helping make this happen.

This page is to ask for your support by making a donation via our Buy a Brick appeal.

All money raised will go towards relocating our existing access ramp which must be moved as we are extending our kitchen, with its new position being one that is much more accessible and convenient for all.

We strongly believe that MacKinnon Hall is a sleeping giant and once redeveloped will not only hugely benefit 4th West Lothian Scout Group but the wider community as a whole. Within Linlithgow it is unique in terms of what it can offer in that as well as the hall itself we have ample parking, it is in a safe secluded spot away from main roads and has two large grass areas (one of which is a campsite), all great spaces for groups and individuals to utilise and enjoy.

This year 4th West Lothian Scout Group is celebrating its 90th birthday. The Group are confident that with the successful redevelopment of MacKinnon Hall we will be around for another 90. We sincerely hope that you feel the same way too.

Many thanks for your time and support.
