New Blog Post Alert!
Our Heritage and Operations Coordinator, Aurora, has written a very insightful new blog post about the fascinating history of the building of Maryhill Burgh Halls. Aurora spent time researching all the contractors who came together between 1876 and 1878 to construct our beautiful building. You can read all about it on our website here: https://www.maryhillburghhalls.org.uk/blog

We Are Still Fundraising!
As a small charity, we often rely on donations and support from our community. We are currently running a fundraising drive and thanks to many generous donations, we have now reached an amazing 91% of our target. If you could spare anything at all to push us right to the £5000, it would be greatly appreciated. The link to donate can be found here: https://justgiving.com/page/mbht You can also set up a recurring donation if you think you can spare some change on a more frequent basis, or donate through the link on our website
