About Merkinch
Merkinch, located in the city of Inverness, is among the most deprived areas in Scotland despite being less that two miles away from one of the wealthiest areas. This scheme is a close-knit community. However, Merkinch struggles with high crime rates, mental health problems, and poor education.
Hope for Merkinch
20schemes has partnered with the Free North Church in Inverness to revitalize a church in the area. Chris Davidson, along with his wife Katherine, are in the early stages of this planting effort. Along with living in the scheme, Chris and Katherine lead a community night each Wednesday where they prepare a meal and have Bible study.
