Established in 1985 by Kirkhill District Amenities Association (KDAA) which built the centre in 1987 and later extended and refurbished it in 2012. The charity Changed to Kirkhill Community Centre SCIO in 2015 and, following a merger with Kirkhill and Bunchrew Community Trust, became Aird Community Trust in 2020.
About Kirkhill Community Centre
Kirkhill Community Centre is a much loved, respected and well used community centre in the heart of Kirkhill village, consisting of:
- Main sports hall
- MUGA (outside all weather enclosed games area)
- Williamson Room for smaller meetings and activities
- Grass pitches
The facility has benefited over the years from the generosity of the community mainly through fundraising events, most notably the Kirkhill Gala which allows the building to be maintained and looked after to a high standard.
We have recently invested in air source heat pump heating system and LED lighting, which together with the solar PV panels will help to move our building towards Net Zero.
