Welcome to your Community Centre |
Can you help us?
The Community Company works out of the Acharacle Community Centre located in the heart of Acharacle.
We had a great response to the survey we carried out in September 2017 which showed overwhelming support for keeping the centre open. We were successful in getting funding for a feasibility study and business plan which were carried out by 'Community Enterprise' company for us and in late 2019 we finally put in the application to the Highland Council to ask them to consider an asset transfer of the building to the Community Company. This will go to committee in late April 2020, so by May we will know the outcome! At the moment we are looking for ways of funding the centre for the future and encouraging folk to make use of it.
Using the Centre?
If you wish to enquire about using the Community Centre, please contact Lesley MacMaster, Centre co-ordinator by telephone at 01967 431411 or by email at bookings@acharacle.org.uk

We have various rooms available at the centre for you to hire.
The one in the photo on the left is the 'Roshven' Room, where lunch club meets 3 times a week, but outwith those times it is free for others to use. It is carpeted with seating around tables, more comfy seating, a very large tv, sink, darts board, drop down screen. All seating can be moved around to suit your use. There are curtains and dimmable lights to make the room ideal for showing photos etc.
The room in the photo on the right is 'Resipole ' room which is a large multi-functional space. Again furniture can be moved to suit the activity you want to use it for. There are double doors which open out onto a hard surfaced traffic free space.

The smallest room in the building is where any member of the public, resident and passer by can come and use a PC or use their own device to access the internet via Wi-Fi (pictured with a desk and printer). Donations are welcome for use of the internet.
The other room pictured is 'Shiel' which is a smaller cosy room which is ideal to rent for small meetings or health and healing sessions. It even has a specifically designed hair washing sink (used by our regular barber!). |
