Community Groups Receiving Council Funding

That this House congratulates the following South Lanarkshire Council Community Grant Scheme recipients in Hamilton and recognises the important work of each of these groups: the Eddlewood Bowling Club Ladies Section who continue to foster a positive and welcoming environment will use their £300 funding for a group trip, the St Andrew’s Church, in Blantyre, which encourages positive personal development through the fellowship of the church and will also put their £300 funding towards a group outing, the Earnock Residents Association who are active participants in improving their local area and who have been awarded £250 for administration and publicity costs, and the Hillhouse Link Association who received £1000 for their efforts to create a warm and welcoming space; and commends the council’s funding scheme which undoubtedly benefits the wider South Lanarkshire community.
