The Foundation hosts two major fundraising events each year including the Women of Dumfries and Galloway Lunch in March. We also host the Elizabeth Crichton Founder’s Day Lunch and Henry Duncan Lecture, usually on a biennial basis. This event celebrates the legacy of Elizabeth Crichton and her vision to establish a university campus in south west Scotland and the founding of a savings bank by Reverend Henry Duncan.
In addition we organise the Crichton Conversations, a series of lectures that attract high calibre speakers pre-eminent in their fields giving audiences an opportunity to debate a range of topical subjects of relevance to today’s Scotland.
If you would like a copy of the Crichton Conversation programme please contact the Foundation by completing the form on the ‘Contact Us‘ page of this web site.
