We're still looking for our next Chair!

Could you be the person to help lead the St Andrews Preservation Trust into its next chapter?

For almost 90 years, we've worked to protect the historic character of St Andrews, guided by our motto, "Preserving the Past, Planning for the Future."

Following the successful redevelopment of the St Andrews Heritage Museum & Garden and a 60% increase in membership since 2022, we're looking for a new Chair of the Board to provide strategic leadership and help shape the Trust's future.

We're looking for someone with:
🔹 Board or Chair experience (ideally with a larger organisation)
🔹 Experience in fundraising and income generation
🔹 Strong leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills
🔹 An affinity with St Andrews and the wider Fife area

This is a voluntary role (reasonable expenses paid), with Board meetings held in St Andrews.

If you share our passion for protecting the heritage and character of St Andrews, we'd love to hear from you.

📩 To find out more or express your interest, contact Sam Ross at [email protected] or call 07904 946364.

It was just last week, on June 28, that we welcomed everyone to Hidden Gardens 2026! 🌿

The St Andrews Preservation Trust would like to thank everyone who participated in our biggest annual fundraiser of the year—from our regular Hidden Gardens attendees to first-time visitors. A huge shoutout also goes to the volunteers who make this event possible, as well as the participating gardens that opened their gates and the community stalls that shared their wares and crafts.

Thank you as well to everyone who visited the St Andrews Heritage Museum & Garden, where visitors enjoyed even more craft stalls and had the opportunity to explore the New Treasure Exhibition.

This was one of our most successful years yet, and we hope to see you all again next year!
