Broxburn and Uphall Community Website is the outcome of the original Uphall On The Web (which went live in May 2002) and Broxburn Community Website merging in June 2018.
In October 2019, the volunteers who manage the website submitted an application for Charitable status to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. In March 2020, charitable status was granted to the Broxburn & Uphall Community Website Trust (SC050044).

The website is run entirely by kind donations. Without the generosity of those who have helped so far, this community resource wouldn't exist.
