We’re planning an important upgrade to the Dundonald Castle Visitor Centre and Community Hub; one that will make the building warmer, more welcoming, and far more energy‑efficient for everyone who uses it.
The windows in the building are now almost 30 years old, and they’re no longer doing their job properly. With your support, we hope to replace all of the existing glazing with modern, energy‑efficient UPVC double glazing. This is one of the key priorities identified in our recent Building Condition Survey and our long‑term Maintenance & Repair Plan.
What the funding will help us do:
Install brand‑new double‑glazed windows throughout the building
Keep the Hub cosy in winter and cooler in summer
Reduce our energy bills and improve sustainability
Create a more comfortable, welcoming space for local residents, community groups, and the thousands of visitors who come to Dundonald Castle every year
Our Community Hub isn’t just a building, it’s a lifeline for many. It’s a warm, safe Cosy Space, a gathering point for local activities, and a friendly place for people who may be feeling isolated or vulnerable. It’s also the gateway for visitors exploring the historic 14th century castle.
This upgrade will help us protect and future‑proof a well‑loved community asset so it can continue to serve Dundonald and beyond for many years to come.
