1Old Smile Centre.jpg


In the late 1930's Tennis Courts & Pavilion
was built for the staff of Scottish Oils. 


In 1970 The Pavilion was converted into
Uphall Play School till 1990.

The building has been empty since then
and has  fallen into a state of disrepair.

Kick Started The Fundraising!

The first phase of the fundraising, was to raise funds to repair the roof of the centre.
Through various sponsored events, Middleton Hall's staff, friends and families with the addition support of FSHC raised enough money to repair the roof by November 2017. 


The building was now water tight in time for the winter!

The Second phase started in early 2018, this was to raise funds to replace the boiler & central heating system as the original heating had been condemned several years ago. 

Proceeding forward with other small jobs at this time was impossible, as the level of dampness within the centre would ruin any new materials.

 
The Third phase of the project started in summer 2018 this was to raising awareness around the local community about our plans for the future.

The centre's goal is to bring groups of all ages together through activities.

 
      It  was time to ask the community for help!
The Fourth phase of the project started in winter 2018 and extended into mid spring 2019
this was due to the amount of help and support we were getting from Fshc,
they offered to help renovate some of the larger jobs
once we had sourced the materials.


With the help from everyone in the now forever growing team, we had decided to name the Team (Team Smile) as everyone was now working together staff, family, friends, community and companies to help us achieve our end goal.
