Barn Doors and New Windows for Ropemakers Venue

Aim

We are transforming a neglected part of Perth to make it nicer for everyone.

Our story 

Over the last two years our charity has transformed a vacant property and ground beside Perths historic walkways in the centre of town.. The area sadly blighted by anti-social activities is somewhere most people would rather avoid, but that is changing.. Our focus to bring the place back to life and to make it safer for everyone is beginning to take effect. In July we completed the interior transformation of Ropemakers building into a smart venue and created Horners Plot a peaceful garden at the back for people to enjoy.

Now we are focussed on improving the ugly grey frontage of the building with it's  old metal shutter door and dilapidated windows which does nothing to enhance its surrounds.

A colourful barn door and bright windows depicting the Ropemakers at work will help enormously in setting the scene towards our vision of a much nicer place to be.
