Milestones

GRAND OPENING DAY - 25 SEPTEMBER 2004

The people of Dunblane collectively decided that a safe place that allowed all generations to come together and enjoy would be the perfect legacy to those lost. Architect Willie Brown and his project team designed the unique building.  A team of amazing volunteers turned this dream into reality and still to this day we are helped immensely by a board of voluntary trustees who generously give up their time.

Requiring approximately £200,000 per year to operate, the Centre relies solely on income from activities, facility hire, fundraising and grant funding. We are hugely grateful to everyone for all the support we receive in every way.

We wrote a book which tells the story of The Centre's first 10 years, from its original concept, to the many years of planning and building, its historic opening, and the huge amount of fun, activity and provision it has offered along the way!

10TH ANNIVERSARY - SEPTEMBER 2014

We undertook some fantastic projects for the 10th anniversary.  One was our amazing knitted teepee, crafted by many nimble fingers....and our unique and wonderful Tree of Life which was created and gifted by renowned artist/sculptor Walter Bailey, and unveiled by our very special friend,
Lorraine Kelly!
