Supporting good causes

I was pleased to see a number of Port Glasgow groups among those voluntary organisations to benefit from the latest round of grant awards from the Council's Grants Sub-Committee.

Port Glasgow Old Peoples' Welfare Council received £1,000 towards general running costs, which should help this important Port Glasgow institution to continue its good work.

Parklea Branching Out Project received £3,000 towards setting up a Port Glasgow in Bloom project supported by local tenants’ and residents’ associations and community councils. This project should help brighten up the town.

Slaemuir Tenants’ and Residents’ Association received £1,000 towards the cost of staging an gala day in May. I have been very impressed by commitment of this group since it was formed in 2007. The members are working hard to develop a sense of pride in their community and I am sure that the gala day will be a great success.
