Buddies, Include Us and Guid Nychburris are among the organisations to have received grants
A local social enterprise, Buddies on Friars Vennel, which provides activities, support and opportunities for adults with disabilities in Dumfries and the surrounding area, received £500 after asking LCC for help redecorating their base which was still showing the effects of the Hogmanay flood. It is particularly a haven for those aged 16-25 and has a well attended drop-in centre with a mission to help people achieve independent fulfilling lives.
LCC awarded Include Us £600 which also helped buy craft materials with community councillors now looking forward to seeing the creativity and ideas of the young people and wish the scheme every success in helping the next generation of entrepreneurs. There was also £250 given to Struan Henry who swims competitively all over Scotland and the cash will help him attend events. LCC secretary Simon Jones said: “He’s neurodivergent and he certainly doesn’t let it slow him down. We were delighted to accept this individual application and wish him the best of luck in all his events.”
LCC receives a sum of about £4,000 a year with which to support community projects which meet criteria.
