Lochwinnoch Community Development Trust (LCDT) is launching an exciting heritage project to document and celebrate the unique contents of our beautiful Lochwinnoch Parish Church, and we need your help!
Before the building begins its next chapter, we have a special opportunity to create a lasting record of the precious items inside- from the Bibles and memorial plaques to the wooden pews, stained glass,and silverware. These objects tell the story of our community’s faith, fellowship, and memories across generations.
Let’s work together to ensure the stories within Lochwinnoch Parish Church are never forgotten.
Role:
Volunteers: Lochwinnoch Church History Recorders
Purpose:
- Preserve Lochwinnoch’s local heritage

Who we’re looking for:
