Please help us stay in tune

The congregation at historic Paisley Abbey are tuning up to raise nearly £350,000 to restore its world-famous organ.

Following consultations with top organ builders, it’s estimated that it will cost £390,000 to repair the instrument, which dates in its original form to 1872.

The Society of Friends of Paisley Abbey have already promised to donate £50,000 to the project and it’s hoped that members of the congregation will make a significant contribution.

There are also plans to apply to Heritage Lottery bosses for a grant to help meet the restoration costs but the organisers of a special fundraising appeal which has just been launched are putting their faith in businesses, local and national organisations and individuals to contribute as generously as possible to the upgrade.
