Following discussions at the DVA there is a proposal to setup a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) to allow the community to benefit from village premises and facilities.
At present the Dirleton Village Association (DVA) is a recognised Charity under the regulations of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
Following recent discussions with East Lothian Council around the derelict old village hall (which lies beside the Bowling Club house), the DVA needs to become a SCIO if it wishes to take over this building or buy any others.
The aims of the proposed SCIO are very similar to what the current DVA stands for: To act as a voice for the Community of Dirleton as defined by the village of Dirleton along with the settlements of Archerfield, Fenton Barns and Ferrygate, by collecting and representing views which have an impact on life in this community and to liaise with all public bodies on matters pertinent to residents in our community.
Papers are available below:
Following consultation and remarks received, the first full version of the constutution has now been published.
The constitution defines the area that is considered to be the Dirleton Community Association. By agreement with the OSCR this has been done on postcode units.
