The Likhubula Partnership joins the community of Dunblane and surrounding areas with Likhubula, a rural community in the Mulanje district of Malawi. 

Since 2005 we have supported projects focusing on education, sustainable agriculture and infrastructure, as well as maintaining friendship links between the two communities.  Our main focus is to support education bursaries to enable all those with potential to attend secondary school.  Subject to budget availability, we support a small number of successful students to attend further education.

Dunblane Allotment Group (DAG) was formed in 2004 with the aim of re-opening the derelict allotment site at the Laighhills, which had fallen into disuse in the early 1980s. The next nearest sites are at Bridge of Allan and Stirling with long waiting lists. This has been a major development for the Dunblane community, providing a significant new amenity for the town in line with the current environmental agenda.

The 60,000 square metre site houses 53 plots of varying sizes. Work by 3 volunteers began in November 2004 and has progressed from there to a constituted organisation run by volunteers. The Management Committee meets monthly with open meetings held four times per year. Volunteers also work regularly to maintain the site and work parties are organised at intervals throughout the year to tidy up. The Annual Potato Day is held on the first Saturday in March (Check 'What's On' for the details). There are now 5 starter plots for members to try before taking on a full plot. Read more about DAG here.

In April 2016, a group from the Criminal Justice Team have made life much safer for the members of the Dunblane Allotment Group by relaying paths, which had become overgrown and very slippery, in the allotment. Read More

If you are interested in having a plot, contact the DAG Secretary, Penny Veitch (see below)

Town Break Dementia Support Services - We are looking for volunteer befrienders to build relationships with people living with the early stages of dementia in the Stirlingshire area. We match befrienders with people who have similar interests so they can be encouraged to pursue loved hobbies or supported so they can build the confidence they need to take up new hobbies. This might be visiting a garden centre, having a walk or even just having a coffee and chat in the person’s home for two hours per week (full training, ongoing support and expenses paid). If you are interested, please contact Gisele at Town Break on 01786 476797 or by email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Central Scotland's only Red Kite feeding station. Watch these wonderful acrobatic birds from our purpose built hide as they swoop and wheel at feeding time. We are open daily with a Ranger-led visit to the hide at feeding time in the afternoon.

Is your child aged 3 to 5 years? Do you ever find their behaviour a challenge? If so, we may have the answer!
We are running a program designed to strengthen family relationships and help you identify positive ways of dealing with challenging behaviour.
Tea and coffee provided. Creche and transport available if required.

We are Dunblane Runners – a small and friendly running club with the aim of bringing runners of all abilities together. We run three times a week - on Mondays and Thursdays (6.30pm) - meet at the entrance to Dunblane Centre and Saturday at 8.30am – meet at Dunblane Cathedral Car Park.

Saturday is the "Social" run, and we have a get together for a coffee at Old Churches House after running. The Saturday session is structured to suit all abilities from beginners upwards.

We have a broad range of ages and abilities in our club. At our Saturday sessions, we have a Meet & Greet set up where one of our members will welcome you and run with you, introducing you to some of our members who would likely be running at the same pace as you. Sessions generally last 30 – 60 minutes and will vary with time of year, weather and who is taking part. We have runners from walk / run level up to, and more than, 7 mins per mile pace. Nobody gets dropped or left behind at any of our sessions.

Before you take that step of joining Dunblane Runners, we would like to invite you to one or two of our sessions and meet us all. The sessions are free. We look forward to running with you!
