“Without lottery funding support neither
the Garrison project on Cumbrae , prospectively the biggest single award,
the Beith Township Heritage Initiative or the Radio City project in Kilbirnie
could have succeeded” said Mr Wilson.
“And it’s not just the big awards
that make a difference, this weeks ‘Awards for All’ announcement demonstrates
the breadth of smaller projects and organisations which benefit locally
from the lottery” said Mr Wilson.
“Such diverse organisations as the
Garnock Choral Society, Arran Visual Arts, the SNAP Craft group in Saltcoats,
TASS Thistle Boys Club, Largs Archery Club, Kids R Us and the Trinity Playgroup
both of Beith, Ardrossan Youth Association through to the Community
of Arran Seabed Trust have all benefited from the latest round of
small awards and will put that money to good use for wider community benefit.”
said Mr Wilson.
“I would encourage all organisations
working for the good of the community to explore the potential for further
lottery support and my office can assist applicants who may not have made
an application in the past or are unsure how to go about applying” concluded
Mr Wilson.
