The Kirk’s Chance to Thrive scheme will see churches reconfigured as community spaces, complete with facilities to benefit everyone living in the area. Five of the eight churches involved are in Glasgow and the others will be in Larkhall, Stirling and Dundee.  The pilot project is expected to last five years and is intended to help communities bring about changes to their area, rather than relying on agencies to impose change from outside. If successful, the scheme will be rolled out to other areas around Scotland.
