I was delighted to hear that 18 projects across Motherwell and Wishaw will share £143,139 in funding from the National Lottery Fund after applying to Awards for All Scotland.
These projects range in purpose: from tackling to isolation and loneliness in the local area through befriending services and blether clubs; to funding kids groups to aid learning and promote development.
I look forward to seeing how these projects develop over the coming months to benefit the local community and make a positive difference to the lives of people across Motherwell and Wishaw.
