Visiting East Haven?

About Us

 

East Haven is one of the earliest recorded fishing communities in Scotland dating back to 1214.

​

The octocentenary of the village was celebrated with a wide range of gardening and heritage projects  in 2014.

​

A new charity called East Haven Together (EHT) was subsequently established in 2015.  A sustainability strategy linked to the United Nations Global Development  Goals underpins the charitable aims of East Haven Together which are to: 

​

Protect and promote the heritage of East Haven

Protect the natural heritage of East Haven

Protect and enhance the natural environment of East Haven

Promote the needs and interests of East Haven and its residents.

Protect wildlife

Develop and maintain a sustainable community

​

EHT works with a range of partners across Scotland and beyond to achieve on local, national and global goals and priorities 

​

What We Do

Care for the whole area so that you can enjoy your visit. East Haven is one big coastal garden

Help look after the coastal path. Provide cycle racks

Provide clean public toilets between March and Remebrance Sunday

Provide a dog friendly environment. Pick up any dog poo left behind.

Carry out regular beach cleans  and litter picks on the coastal paths. Provide bins.

Protect the dunes, wildlife and coastal habitats. Plant Lyme and Marram grasses to prevent erosion

Provide  safety equipment  such as a public access defibrillator and  lifebouy 

What We Need You To Do

Please walk or cycle if possible. There is little car parking space in the village. Active travel improves health and well-being and reduces carbon emissions

Respect all users of the beach and coastal paths

Pick up after your dog and keep it under control at all times

Please take your litter home or leave it in the bins provided.

Keep to paths. Don't take vehicles onto the beach. Use the BBQ plates on the picnic tables instead of lighting fires.

Take responsibility for your own safety and enjoy your visit.

Collaboration 


 

East Haven Together is a grassroots community-led organisation.  We carry out multiple consultations to ensure that voices are heard not just at a local level but also nationally when it is important to  influence  strategy and policy development.


We work in partnership with many other communities and groups across Scotland. Also with a wide range of organisations, businesses and NGOs. 


We are very grateful for all the support we receive from everybody and also from those who support us financially with grants and donations.
Every penny counts and goes back into helping East Haven achieve it's charitable aims and priorities.
