Paisley, your history is more than just a collection of stories – it’s the backbone of our community, the spirit that unites us, and the foundation of our future prosperity. Today, Paisley Heritage is thrilled to launch the "Building Our Heritage Hub" campaign, and we’re inviting YOU to help us raise £5,000. Together, we can create a space that doesn’t just preserve our past but also brings new opportunities, pride, and economic benefits to our town.
Why This Hub is Critical for Paisley
Paisley has a rich story to tell, and our town is brimming with untapped potential. By creating a dedicated Heritage Hub, we can:
✨ Attract more visitors, driving increased footfall for local shops, cafes, and businesses.✨ Boost the local economy, with visitors spending more time and money exploring Paisley.✨ Foster a renewed sense of pride in our town, uplifting the spirits of Paisley’s residents.✨ Create more opportunities for collaboration, helping community groups and volunteers come together for the common good.
A stronger, more vibrant Paisley benefits everyone – and this hub is the key to unlocking that potential.
Our Goal: £5,000 for a Brighter Paisley
Your support will help us create a space that serves everyone in our community. Here's how your donations will be used:
£3,000 – To secure the deposit and cover the initial setup for our office space.
£2,000 – To furnish and equip the space, including:
Comfortable workspace furniture to support our dedicated team.
Secure storage solutions to safeguard our historical archives.
Modern technology to deliver high-quality services and programming.
Why Now?
Paisley is at a turning point, and the time to act is now:
Our guided tours have grown from 5 to 12 guides, showcasing a growing demand for Paisley’s history and culture.
A rising volunteer base means we need proper training facilities to support our team.
Interest in Paisley’s heritage is skyrocketing, and with it comes the opportunity to draw new visitors to our town.
We need a centralised hub to take full advantage of this momentum and give Paisley the future it deserves.
