Financial Support for a Community Project
CCG made a generous financial donation to this community project. Their donation was put towards decorating the amenity house within the new development at Castlehill Road. These funds helped provide a lovely space for the elderly residents from the previous high rise flats where they could meet up and socialise.
Students from New College Lanarkshire helped with the decorating by painting the amenity house in a colour chosen by the community residents.
