The SMAKE Trustees are delighted to share the fantastic news that the Scottish Land Fund has agreed to support our bid to purchase St Monans Auld Kirk. A big thank you to you all for supporting us because a big part of this award is the fact that so many St Monans residents (currently 175 members) have shown that the community is fully behind this project.

Hopefully, the discussions with the Church of Scotland will not be too long and drawn out and we will take ownership soon. We will keep you informed.

Again, thank you all for your support.

Here are some photos of our most recent Open Weekend in St Monans Auld Kirk. They weren’t taken when we were at our busiest ~ as at several times the Kirk was so busy all of the SMAKE Team present were needed to speak to our visitors - or to make warming cups of tea, coffee or hot chocolate! (It was a freezing cold day outside.)

Thank you for visiting the Kirk last weekend and for supporting SMAKE. Thanks to incredible support from AHF () and the ...

Thank you for visiting the Kirk last weekend and for supporting SMAKE. Thanks to incredible support from AHF () and the Scottish Land Fund, we have now completed development phase work exploring how the Kirk will become a self- sustaining community venture. We are excited to now be in a position to apply for Stage 2 funding from the Scottish Land Fund and others, as we continue the journey towards ownership of the Auld Kirk for the benefit of the people of St Monans. Here are some snapshots of the work completed so far, which you might have seen on the weekend; as always we welcome your ideas and feedback!
