Provan Hall Community Management Trust are seeking new Trustees

Provan Hall is an A listed medieval building located in Auchinlea Park, which sits at the heart of Easterhouse, Glasgow. It is the best example of a medieval fortified house in Scotland with records of its existence dating back to the 1470s. The building has recently undergone a £3m restoration by Glasgow City Council that will safeguard this important heritage asset as a new hub for heritage learning and engagement, and a visitor gateway to the Seven Lochs Wetland Park.

We are an ambitious organisation with a community heart. We aim to provide opportunities that connect local people and visitors to Provan Hall through inclusive and creative means of heritage interpretation, activities and volunteering. To develop our sustainability, we generate income through venue hires, a gift shop, by acting as a filming location and through donations.

Since 2023, we have made strides in developing our resilience and sustainability for the future.

This is an exciting time to join our Trust in the early stages of our building operation, to help lay strong foundations for a bright future.
