Marchmont St Giles’ is in the happy position of having an active Guild which presents a varied programme of events and speakers during the year. It has regular Morning Coffee which has found a new lease of life from the parents of children attending events in the Church Centre on a Saturday morning. This has a twofold benefit in raising awareness of the Guild Projects which are aimed at helping disadvantaged people around the world and in raising funds for these projects. The Guild is grateful for this support. Follow this link for more information about The Guild.
We seek to support charities helping others such as Fairtrade, Freshstart, Christian Aid and others through the Guild projects. A link to current Guild projects can be found here.
