Dumfries House Community Awards Presented
Over £30,000 awarded to ten local groups.
To coincide with the national celebrations marking Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, The Great Steward of Scotland’s Dumfries House Trust awarded a number of grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 to volunteer and charitable groups who work to benefit their communities in Cumnock, New Cumnock, Auchinleck and Ochiltree. The Dumfries House Community Awards will take place each year with the primary aim being to support those who work to bring added value to the local community. It is anticipated that next year the geographical area will be extended to include additional local towns and villages to make funding available across the wider community.
