The Future of Glenrothes & Area Heritage Centre
Are you interested in helping secure the future of G&AHC by becoming a Trustee? Would you like to play an important role in preserving its 78yr heritage and history? Are you interested in:
> The history of the land ‘before Glenrothes’?
> The history of how your hometown was created by Glenrothes Development Corporation?
> How it became one of the most successful of all the postwar New Towns in the UK and Fife’s Adminstrational Capital.
> Of those early ordinary townsfolk who pioneered the setting up of the town’s social infrastructure?
> The successful Glenrothes ‘Silicon Glen’ history.
> Its long-standing connection to Clan Leslie Charitable Trust and that of Noelle, Countess of Rothes/Titanic story.
The creation of G&AHC:
* G&AHC was founded in 2009 and until 2023 promoted the history of Glenrothes, Leslie, Markinch, Thornton and Kinglassie through its large museum premises in the Kingdom Shopping Centre, Glenrothes.
* G&AHC became a Scottish Registered Charity in 2011 (SC042520).
* Was awarded a 3*VisitScotland visitor attraction centre in 2019.
* Created a very successful ‘Friends of G&AHC’ membership.
* Won multiple awards for their innovative exhibitions and presentations.
If you would like to be part of the team taking G&AHC into the future I would really like to hear from you. E-Mail: [email protected]
G&AHC is a voluntary organisation, there are no ‘paid’ officials/trustees/volunteers.
