Lottery Funding Success

LDVG are delighted to share the news that we have succesfully secured £150,000 National Lottery funding for the next 3 years!  This funding will go towards supporting our wide range of community activities and services to connect and improve the wellbeing of the Larkhall community.

The National Lottery Community Fund, Scotland Chair, Kate Still, said: “National Lottery funding can make amazing things happen in local communities across the country. This project delivered by Larkhall And District Volunteer Group, is a great example of community activity in action, showing just what can be achieved when people come together for a common cause or to help others. National Lottery players can be proud to know that the money they raise is helping to support this vital work and to help communities thrive.”

Thanks to the money raised by National Lottery players, these projects can tackle the big issues and support people in communities across Scotland.

We are delighted to announce that we have received a grant from the Communities Mental Health & Well-being fund managed by Voluntary Action South Lanarkshire.

We will use this funding for 3 projects:
