We will shortly be annoying the date of our annual AGM.

All members of the Trust are invited to the meeting when we’ll report on activity over the previous year and plans for one ahead. We warmly welcome all members to join us and have their say in the running of the Trust and community hall. Trustees are also elected annually at each AGM.

The Fittie Community Trust is a member of FareShare.

FareShare is the UK’s largest charity fighting hunger and tackling food waste.

As part of the FareShare scheme, CFine redistribute perfectly good, in-date surplus food from the food industry to Community Food Members in North East Scotland. 

We receive a FareShare delivery weekly on Wednesday mornings at the Fittie Community Hall and all of the food is stored in the pantry area at the back of the hall. This food is free for residents. 

If you would like to be part of FareShare email the Trust on to be included on the mailing list. 

Thanks to all of those who turned out for our Fittie Festive Party.

We flung open the doors of the community hall for a free festive event for Fittie residents supported by Aberdeen City Council’s Community Festive Fund. The Harbour Voices community choir sang a round of Christmas and winter themed songs and we hosted a cracking Christmas Quiz. Ceilidh band Clattering Kist got us on our feet and brought the house down. Thanks to Aberdeen Rotary Club for helping to organise the Tombola.

These events are a great way to bring the community together and get to know each other socially.

As part of our Safe Harbour: Open Sea project, we’re delighted to present Time & Tide, which has been created by artist and producer Martin Aitken.  

Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 January 2022: 10am – 4pm (Drop in)  

Fittie Community Hall, New Pier Road, Aberdeen, AB11 5DR 

As the Fittie Community Hall closes its doors for a second phase of redevelopment, we invite you to share the moment of transition and anticipation for the future with us. The Hall is a central part of the Fittie community and Aberdeen as a place where we come together and welcome others. Experience the Community Hall in a new light through our immersive audio-visual installation. We’ll be using images and sound to celebrate the people of Fittie past and present, as well as the community’s history and relationship with the sea. We’ll also be looking forward to the next phase of life for the Hall and Fittie as we journey towards a sustainable future for both. No need to book, just drop in.

The Fittie Festive Fayre is on 4 December 2021 from 14.00 – 16.00.

We’ll be expecting you!

On Sunday 21st November at 7pm, a member of the Safe Harbour: Open Sea team, Victoria Fifield, is launching her new book, ‘Mirage’.

This story of Victoria’s experiences in the Bedouin city of Rahat is ‘told with humour, humility and honesty’ and offers a glimpse into one of the world’s most rapidly changing cultures. It explores the challenges of working in communities as an outsider, and beautifully illustrates the Bedouin proverb, ‘we learn little from success, but much from failure.’

The Fittie choir had a go at contributing to ‘Sing the change’. The recording and accompanying video, made by Geraldine, can be heard/watched on youtube!
