Opening Of Our Business and Enterprise Hub

Kildean Business & Enterprise Hub Opens with A Successful Community Fun Day!

Bruce Crawford, MSP, joined community members of all ages recently to help mark the opening of our  Kildean Business & Enterprise Hub at Drip Road, Raploch.

This new facility which is based in the refurbished former Kildean hospital not only provides a new home for our offices, but a training base for Stirling Community Enterprise, a social enterprise offering employability support and training opportunities to people from all across Stirling, and business premises for up to 12 small enterprises in a facility managed by STEP Scotland.

The opening was marked by a Community Fun Day which combined an array of information and advice stalls with fun activities, ranging from a mini zoo to a beat the goalie competition.

Gordon Mason, our Chairperson, explained: “We are delighted that by working closely with our partners we’ve not only brought redundant buildings back into the heart of our community we’ve brought businesses and jobs into Stirling’s Raploch.”

The refurbishment of the buildings was funded through the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund from the Scottish Government, The Robertson Trust and Raploch Urban Regeneration Company.
