I was delighted to hear today that Port Glasgow based charity Parklea Association Branching Out has been given a £10,000 lottery award.
Branching Out is receiving the money from Awards For All. It will be used towards developing a site recently transferred from the Council which includes three large glasshouses, two smaller glasshouses and an ancillary building. This building requires a new roof and refurbishment.
The grant will be used to pay for removal of asbestos and cement roof sheets. It will also fund a replacement roof and the installation of new facilities. Branching Out provide training, work experience, recreational and social facilities for a variety of clients including adults and children with learning and/or physical disabilities.
Branching Out recently received a grant of £60,000 towards the same project from the Council's Community Facilities Fund.
