Making our Park the Heart of our Community.
The Bervie Play Parks Committee was set up with the aim of raising money to improve and expand upon the existing, limited, playground facilities in Inverbervie. We are a registered charity (SCO42985). Our strategy has been to involve the whole community in our fund raising activities so that everyone feels they have a stake in the completed project. Our emphasis has been upon family friendly events; monthly roller discos, Easter trails, Halloween parties and a Jubilee street party. We have organised a comprehensive program of children’s holiday events and in addition, we have compiled a CD showcasing local music. The Burgh Hall has been turned in to a cinema, showcasing the latest films. We persuaded fifty people to abseil off the North Water Bridge in Montrose. We have brought a wide variety of workshops and activities to the village, with card crafting, cave exploring, circus training and everything in between. We want to make sure the journey is as much fun as reaching the destination! Our first priority is to completely revamp the Church Street play park, turning it into a fully refurbished, inclusive play space which will be renamed "The Cutty Park". We'll soon have plans to put on public display and these will give a sense of the transformation. To date, we have raised £16,047.19, and for the completion of this park, we need to raise approximately £80,000. We have been overwhelmed with the support we have already received and look forward to having lots of fun raising the rest. We are committed to providing excellent play facilities for our children, to improve their health and well-being, and to make Inverbervie and even better place to live!

A remarkable story of a social enterprise development & achievement against all odds............... Over 30 years ago, concerned parents, living surrounded by water felt that their children had a right to be taught to swim. Campaigning and fundraising for a swimming pool began, and by 1991 £1 million had been raised by the community enabling their “dream pool” to be built. The conversion of a redundant Morrison Bowmore whisky bond on the romantic Isle of Islay off the west coast of Scotland resulted in The Mactaggart Leisure Centre being born, comprising of a swim pool, sauna, gym, launderette, hairdressers & mutli purpose room. 21 years later the Mactaggart Leisure Centre is an award winning establishment, continuing to provide all that’s best in Health, Leisure, Social Recreation & Education for everyone on the Isles of Islay and Jura. Through training, volunteering & employment we provide a wide range of activities & services for all age groups in response to community demand. As a stand alone enterprise the Mactaggart Leisure Centre relies on grants, private trusts, foundations & general donations for its continued existence. Please donate as much as you can to a very deserving cause.
