Burnturk and Kettlehill Community Trust

About

Burnturk and Kettlehill Community Trust (BKCT) was set up in 2017 to ensure the sustainability of the Jubilee Hall, Coaltown of Burnturk which was gifted to the community in 1897. It is a hub for events & activities, and a low-cost venue for hire by individuals, organisations & for family events. Following renovations in 2023/24 which improved the building, accessibility and the garden it is a brighter, flexible venue which hosts a variety of social, recreational, educational, cultural and environmental activities for people of all ages. Regular activities are run by a variety of groups. There are also social events, workshops and evening lectures. Annual activities include village events, and two litter picks in the surrounding area. There are links with other local community groups. The facility is run by volunteers with the support of the local community in time, materials and donations. We aim to respond to the needs and wishes of the local community as they change over time.
