What will happen to Ladycroft, Woodcroft and the Ministry Centre if a new building is constructed?

No decision has been made about the current buildings yet, as we are still in the early stages of the project and are working through the feasibility phase. Depending on the available space in the new building, we may not need to continue renting the Ministry Centre. Ladycroft and Woodcroft House might be sold, but no decisions have been made at this point. We recognise that Ladycroft holds spiritual and historical significance for our church.

Is there not an existing building in Balerno or the surrounding area that we could buy or rent long term?

At the early stages of the project, the Vestry asked a group of St. Mungo’s members, all with significant property experience, to explore other existing buildings in and around Balerno that might be available to us. To learn more about this process and the Options Appraisal, click on the Project Background section of the website.  As of September 2024, no suitable buildings, based on the established criteria, have become available.
