25th ANNIVERSARY EVENT

22/11/2024

0 Comments

 
We were delighted to hold a 25th Anniversary event on Wednesday 20th November 24, kindly hosted by Dryfesdale Church Hall. It was lovely to see so many current and former volunteers and staff who have contributed to the services. We also had a surprise visit from Fiona Armstrong, Lord Lieutenant of Dumfries, who thanked ACTS for helping the community over 25 years. The celebration cake was cut by Geoff Kitt, the longest serving Board member and current Chairman, alongside Janet Saunders, Manager, who is retiring after 23 years, and the Lord Lieutenant.

Community Windpower (CWL) have awarded ACTS a donation of £1,125. CWL are the developers of Scoop Hill Community Wind Farm in Dumfries and Galloway, which is currently at the planning stage and it is committed to providing tangible community benefits in the host communities of their wind farms. The donation will be used to provide clothing for our volunteers, ID cards, and a new printer for our office in Lockerbie.
The items will be purchased alongside a £1,000 grant from Cunninghame Housing Association. Rebecca Elliott, Senior Project Manager for Scoop Hill Community Wind Farm, said: “Supporting local business and local traders has been a tenet of our business since the very beginning, and it will remain that way as Scoop Hill progresses through the planning, construction, and operation stages.”
ACTS is delighted to have received this funding. It is so important to our organisation to have this support so we can continue to provide our invaluable services to the local community.
