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.
