Our Redevelopment Journey
The entire project is costed at around £1.5 million. In 2022 we secured funding for the development stage of the project from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Museums Galleries Scotland to develop our plans and begin the fundraising process. We are working hard to make this exciting project a reality, and while we have secured significant funding from major donors, every penny counts. To join us on our journey in preserving the social history of St Andrews, you can make a donation directly to the project, or even sponsor an artefact that is of special interest to you.
