Community Development Trust (CDT) is currently investigating the possibility of creating a tribute to the mining community in the village green across from Scotmid as mining played a very important part in the history of the village. If you have any ideas for what you would like to see as part of the tribute please drop into the Hub on Main Street or contact Development Worker paul.renwick@fauldhouse.org.uk Charity Shop in Fauldhouse Indoor Market with a vast range of clothes and toys free of charge to Children in Need. It should be noted and respected that the shop is not designed for folk just to wonder in and uplift items to fill their children’s wardrobe. The initiative is to help children of families who are genuinely struggling and find it extremely difficult to provide basic needs such as clothing and shoes. Any family in such circumstances is welcome to visit the shop. Community Development
