Current plans
The Abbey site offers a unique opportunity in North Berwick to create a space for health and wellbeing for everyone, where people of all ages and from across the community can come together to reduce social isolation, support mental and physical health, and encourage individual and community connections.
The Abbey could be a home for:
· A community café where people can come together for a cuppa, mutual support, and community cooking events
· Intergenerational activities where all ages can meet and connect with each other
· A hub for young people to visit, volunteer, gain work experience and training
· Community organisations who need space to operate and run events and workshops
· A community garden in the extensive grounds
· Artists and therapists with studios to work from
· Overnight accommodation for respite care and visitors
· A biodiverse greenspace where people can spend time, connect with nature and relax
These are initial ideas but the ambition is bold. Please get in touch and look out for public events to contribute to the discussion around the future of The Abbey.
