We're delighted to have supported Save Bon Accord Baths with this funding application and looking forward to helping them develop the next stages in bringing this fantastic building back to life

Bon Accord Heritage is delighted to have been successful in securing a £50,000 award from the Scottish Government's Just Transition Fund. This award will allow us to take a hugely significant step forward in our plans for the restoration of Bon Accord Baths by developing an energy strategy to make the reopened facility much more energy efficient, thus substantially reducing future running costs. Local companies and specialists in their field will complete the work by next spring. Alongside that work, part of the award will be used to develop a fundraising strategy to identify key funders for the development and delivery phases.

Thanks to everyone who supports the project and encourages us to keep doing what we're doing. 2026 has been an amazing year so far and 2027 is shaping up rather nicely too.

We are delighted to support the King's Community Foundation with this Community Building Retrofit demonstrator project, to create a building fit for the future!

This retrofit project will transform the The Bridge Centre, Torry's Community Hall into a warm, energy efficient, low-carbon space to expand community activities year-round and keep community use affordable.

Over the next few months, there will be opportunities to "see, touch, and feel" the work in progress through interactive events, and find out how RETROFIT can improve HOMES to make them warmer, drier, healthier to live in and cheaper to heat.

Retrofit also has huge potential to create jobs, support upskilling and the local economy. So watch this space for more information and to take part!
