SUMMARY:Maintaining Scottish Churches - Galashiels
DESCRIPTION:Location: St Peter’s Episcopal Church\, Parsonage Road\, Galashiels\, TD1 3HS \n\n\n\nAre you involved in caring for and maintaining a place of worship in Scotland? \n\n\n\nCaring for a historic building can feel like a never-ending task\, but thankfully there are some simple steps you can take to keep your building in good condition and reduce the likelihood of large repair projects further down the line. \n\n\n\nIn this introductory one-day course\, we’ll explore how your historic faith building works and the practical steps you can take to look after it. \n\n\n\nYou’ll be able to put your new knowledge into action right away\, with a practical exercise looking at the host building inside and out to identify maintenance issues and areas of vulnerability. There will also be the opportunity to discuss your building with the course tutors and others attending. \n\n\n\nArmed with a new understanding of how traditional buildings were constructed\, how they work\, and how they decay\, you’ll leave with the skills and confidence you need to spot and tackle common problems that put your old building at risk. \n\n\n\nFor more information and to book your place please follow this link.

We aim to facilitate an honest sharing of hopes and fears and to support participants to sustain long term engagement and personal wellbeing. \n\n\n\nAs the sessions lead on from each other in a structured way\, to build connection and trust within the group participants will ideally attend all 5 sessions. \n\n\n\nLOCATION: the workshops will take place in the Cathedral’s Song School – which also houses Phoebe Anna Traquair’s stunning ‘song of creation’ murals.
