Papa Stour History and Community Group
This is a Claimed service
The Shetland island of Papa Stour has been experiencing significant depopulation over the last forty years, and the Papa Stour History and Community Group (SCIO) (PSHCG) was formed and constituted as a registered charity, to support and enhance all aspects of island life.
Group members are resident islanders, local crofters and homeowners, and people with familial and social connections.
There are eight trustees, and more than 40 members, and ‘Friends of Papa Stour’. Our vision is to enable Papa Stour to remain a viable community, maintaining local service provision, improving employment opportunities, and preserving Papa’s natural, historic and cultural resources which are at risk of loss and deterioration.
In 2016 we bought the B-Listed Kirk aiming to keep it primarily as a kirk, but also to develop it as a community hub for islanders and a visitor centre with income generation potential.
