Sport Relief Grant

The Machars Area Partnership for Building Healthy Communities is pleased to announce the receipt of a grant from Sport Relief of £1000. This money is split between the Isle of Whithorn Dancercise class and the Isle of Whithorn Art Group.  This is to help cover hall rents, etc, for both groups and will ensure the continuity and sustainability of both groups into the future.

David Hirst, Treasurer of the Partnership said: "We have also received grants from Newton Stewart Round Table, Machars Lions and Royal Bank of Scotland which are being used to support our initiatives. A further 16 grant applications have been submitted and more will be added to this in the coming weeks. The object is to obtain the funding to set up new initiatives and extend the existing ones.  Any suggestions for new activities would be seriously considered."
