CDCN are delighted to announce that we have been awarded £88,095 of funding through the Scottish Government's Islands Programme as part of our ambitions to expand the NESTING SCRAPSTORE through the provision of a new portable cabin, and additional access and parking.
The Scottish Government's Islands Secretary Mairi Gougeon said: “This is an important investment especially given the consequences of the cost of living crisis and climate change which are of particular concern for our islands. This investment will go some way in helping us support our island communities.”
A very big thank you to everyone who has supported us to reach this stage!!
Also well done to the Papa Stour community for their grant towards restoring and developing the island’s old kirk.
