Milltimber Community Hall is owned by the Milltimber community and run on their behalf by the Milltimber Community Association SCIO, a self-funding charity.
​
The idea of the hall was first conceived in 1972. At the time all community activities were held in the primary school but were limited to evenings and weekends. A group of residents formed an association (the MCA) and started to raise funds to build a community facility.
​
Between 1975 and 1982 a Cubs group and then a Scout troop were established in Milltimber and the resulting Scout Group needed a dedicated meeting space and storage.
​
In 1984 the MCA were alerted to the possibility of building on amenity land being provided as part of a new housing development in the Meadows area of Milltimber.
​
In 1985 the MCA and the Scout Group met to discuss a joint venture in which they could share resources to provide a facility that would meet everyone's needs. Two separate buildings were discussed but this was soon changed to a combined facility under the management of the MCA.
​
It took until 1987 to resolve technical issues regarding vehicular access and grant funding, but on 25th February 1989 the Milltimber Community Hall was finally opened for business.
​
The hall continues to be managed by the MCA on behalf of the local community. It is a busy and well-used facility offering a wide variety of activities as well as being available to hire for parties and fundraising activities.
