COWDENBEATH MSP, Annabelle Ewing, has congratulated three groups from her constituency who have recently secured a total of £27,355 in funding from Awards for All Scotland.

And one of them is from Benarty.

Ms Ewing said: “Many congratulations to PKD (Pushkart Derby Dalgety Bay), Dalgety Bay Air Training Corps and the Benarty Community Forum who between them have secured nearly £30,000 from Awards for All Scotland.

“I understand that PKD have been awarded £10,000 towards costs associated with the annual community music event that they stage and that the ATC will put their £7,400 grant towards improved IT equipment including a flight simulator that will really enhance the cadets’ training.

“The Benarty Community Forum intend to start a community shop providing low cost clothing and other goods to the community and their £9,9365 award will help them get that plan off the ground".

Added Ms Ewing: “Our communities depend on the work of diverse groups like these and I am pleased to be able to welcome the news that each of these organisations is receiving assistance with projects which will help develop the good work that they already do.”
