This site will explain all, I hope that you will post it as it tells most of the story and gives some detail of state of property.
These awards are made by organisations that do not look at it's today state of care and weight around church management.
Hope you can manage to make a story from this and highlight the concern here locally and within the Scottish church.
Kind regards

This building has been a problem and a drain on funds within the church in Scotland and it seems nothing can be done so as to move forward.
Endless money has been poured into it for thirty + years through making it secure for safety and environmental reasons.
The young skateboarders from all over this area have used it for having fun.
No more awards please as it does not help the situation that the leaders here in Scotland find themselves in.
Will some organisation take it on and make use of the space available, it has to happen soon for all locals in the area and stop the church leaders from having this headache.
We have in the past been promised some progress on this matter with no success.
