We want it to become a place that connects our prehistoric past with our present-day community while creating opportunities for future generations.
Community Q&A
Developing your own project? Here is some advice from South Ronaldsay and Burray Trust.
Owning a major community asset brings new responsibilities. A dedicated Community Development Officer provides the capacity needed to develop projects, secure funding, build partnerships, strengthen governance and keep momentum going while trustees focus on strategic leadership.
Don't be afraid to ask questions, make mistakes and learn as you go. Community projects succeed because of people. Build a team with a mix of passion, practical skills and local knowledge, and don't hesitate to seek support from organisations that can help.
Community organisations understand the needs of local people better than anyone. They can protect important local assets, create opportunities for future generations and give communities a stronger voice in shaping their own future.
Future plans include improving accessibility through a replica tomb, expanding educational programmes, supporting volunteers, developing new visitor experiences and using the Local Place Plan to shape wider community priorities for South Ronaldsay and Burray.
The Trust’s work is nothing short of inspiring. They're creating opportunities for learning, volunteering, employment and community development that will benefit local people for years to come.
