About Inch Community Association and Inch Community Education Centre:

Inch Community Association (ICA) is a charity which was established as a SCIO in 2019 (registered with OSCR – SC049401) and which manages Inch House Community Education Centre, located in the south of Edinburgh. Among its charitable goals are the provision of programmes of community education, leisure and recreational facilities for the adjacent Inch community; to support local community development and urban regeneration; to advance arts, heritage and culture by fostering an awareness of history arts and architecture (especially of the history, arts and architecture of Scotland) within the Inch community and beyond; to encourage a greater awareness of nature and the local environment, support action to protect it, and to raise awareness about more general environmental issues within the community.

Inch House is highly unusual among community centres in that it is housed in a beautiful historical building (a 16th /17thcentury tower house) set in the middle of a magnificent park. This has created many challenges in meeting the expectations that go with running a modern community centre inside such an old building, and significant operational and maintenance problems. But it also brings great opportunities, as Inch House is held in enormous affection by the local community and the many people who use or visit from further afield, all of whom are passionate about securing its future.

Inch House is owned by City of Edinburgh Council, which pays for its upkeep provides a limited amount of janitorial support and other services. The main day-to-day activities and services at the Centre are delivered by ICA and its partners.

As well as regular sessions held in Inch House, frequent excursions were organised to destinations in and around Edinburgh, including: shopping trips, visits to the Botanic Gardens, the theatre, art galleries, castles or the seaside.
