Forth & District Development Trust SCIO

About

We run a community Shop: Local residents can purchase items at a reduced cost, this is not a foodbank and we have been able to keep this going for over 2 years by applying for funding on a regular basis. Defibrillator Maintenance: This requires periodic funding for replacement pads/batteries. Committee members also check the machines on a regular basis and ensure they are keep online on the Circuit website. Pathway Maintenance: Members of the public identify walkways that they feel need maintained - grass cutting, strimming or similar. Volunteers carry out these tasks and equipment is paid for and maintained by the development trust. We administer a micro grant for local groups to apply to for additional funding up to the value of £500, these funds come from South Lanarkshire Council. We received funding to provide transport to local hospital and out patient appointments. This is due to us living in a rural area where the bus service is not very efficient and limited.
