At the heart of our organisation is a simple but ambitious vision: to combine a thriving tourism business with a newly launched charity, creating a sustainable model that preserves Paisley’s unique heritage while giving back to the community.
Preserving Paisley’s Heritage Through Our Charity
Our charity is dedicated to preserving Paisley’s rich history and empowering its community through education and engagement. With our official launch, we are proud to announce several key initiatives, including:
Educational programmes and workshops: Inspiring young people to connect with and celebrate Paisley’s heritage.
Heritage preservation projects: Digitising priceless collections like Harry Hornby’s 800 photographs, generously donated by his family, to ensure these treasures are accessible for generations to come.
Cultural and community events: Bringing Paisley’s traditions to life through vibrant and engaging activities that unite the community.
These initiatives are designed to honour Paisley’s past while creating opportunities for its future.
How the Tourism Business Supports Our Mission
To sustain our charity and amplify its impact, we’ve partnered with our dedicated tourism business that showcases Paisley’s unique charm to visitors. Profits from the tourism business flow directly back into the charity, ensuring a steady source of funding for our community-focused projects.
The tourism business offers:
Over 10 curated tours led by a team of 12 passionate guides.
Experiences that highlight Paisley’s historical landmarks, cultural richness, and hidden gems.
A collaborative approach, working with Scotland's tourism board to position Paisley as a must-visit destination.

A Sustainable Vision for Paisley
This innovative partnership between the charity and the tourism business creates a sustainable cycle of growth. Visitors not only enjoy Paisley’s history and culture but also play a vital role in preserving it. Every tour taken directly contributes to the community, ensuring Paisley’s legacy is celebrated for years to come.
What’s Next for Our Charity?
The next few weeks mark an exciting time as we expand our outreach, finalise educational programmes, and support the official launch of the tourism business. Together, we’re working to make Paisley a shining example of heritage preservation and community empowerment.
