At our well attended Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 7/11/17, the Members agreed to change the Charity's name to Annandale Community Transport Services (ACTS) from January 2018. We believe the name better reflects what we do and differentiates us from a local haulage company. We will be working on a new logo and a fresh launch so that more people who need help with transport know we are here for the community.
We are delighted to have received a donation of £250 from Lochmaben Community Council to help transport provision in the Burgh. Many thanks for this support.
We are delighted to have been awarded £1,000 by the Lockerbie Trust for provision of community transport services in Lockerbie for 2017/2018.
Annandale and Nithsdale Community Benefit Company (ANCBC), receives funding from ScottishPower Renewables' Harestanes Windfarm. They have awarded £20,000 over 2 years to help cover core costs. ATI provides a key service to residents who are geographically isolated and in many cases disabled. Offering minibus hire and community cars, the Initiative facilitates over twenty thousand passenger journeys a year.
 We are delighted to receive a generous donation of £500 from one of our members, Annan Hale & Hearty Club. Pictured is Joe Massie of the Club and our Co-ordinator, Irene Kirkland, receiving the cheque. This gesture of support is greatly appreciated.
We are very grateful to have received a donation of £200 from Barbours & Sons. We greatly appreciate their support.
A huge thank you to everyone for your support - we have over 3,000 signatures on our petition to support funding for ATI. We have been awarded £20,000 from Area Committee however we still have a shortfall of £16,000 for 2017-18. We are working hard to source funding so we can continue to deliver high quality, affordable, accessible community transport in Annandale & Eskdale.
Due to increasing demand for individual transport in Moffat, we have moved a Renault Kangoo to join the 16 seater bus in the town. the Kangoo can accommodate a passenger travelling in a wheelchair and 2 other passengers.
