Today is a historic milestone for the Tillydrone Community Development Trust after 16 years of tireless effort and quiet determination, they are able to now say that 'the Wallace Tower is OPEN'. I can't stress enough how pleased I am for the Trust to get to this moment. It took vision and a relentless and pragmatic effort to refine the vision in to a deliverable activation of the building.
The Tillydrone Community Development Trust was set up in 2010 with a mission to spearhead 'community led' regeneration and with that produce opportunities to generate local jobs with any profit generated from their enterprises reinvested back in to the work of the Trust and it's objectives. They have made great strides in achieving that ambition and they have done so with the utmost love, care and respect for the Wallace Tower (Benholms Lodge) which is looking absolutely resplendent.
Super well done to (among many others) Colin, Linda, Susan, Jane, Ramsay, Clive, David. Please do show your support, not just in the next couple of days but in the weeks, months and hopefully years ahead. Be proud and take a moment to soak up all of the plaudits that you richly deserve.
📢 Have you heard?! 📢 The Liberty Kitchen at The Wallace Tower opens tomorrow at 10am! We are so delighted to reopen this iconic building with them, and with all of you. Come on in!!! 🥪☕️🍰
