Community

At ConneXions we support local community groups by providing a great space for people to meet and enjoy a whole range of different activities.  Elsewhere on this website you can find out all about Fullarton ConneXions as one of the worship centres of United Irvine Church of Scotland – the worship services on Sunday and the groups we run throughout the week. Here’s a list of the other local community groups that meet at ConneXions and make the most of the space.

Space at ConneXions

We have space to dance, do crafts, cook and eat, relax, chat, run and shout, play, sing, read, listen and more too. If you are looking for a space to run a group we may be able to help.
