Dave Thompson MSP

Dave Thompson, SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch has welcomed the news that Kinlochlovin' has recently received a £7000 Awards for All grant.

The organisation aims to advance education, citizenship and community development for young people in the Kinlochleven High School catchment area. The funding will be used to support young people in completing their Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Mr Thompson said, “I welcome the news that Kinlochlovin' has recently received a £7000 Awards for All grant.

“The grant will be used to support young folk around Kinlochleven High School and help them complete their Duke of Edinburgh Award, which teaches a range of useful skills and promotes interaction with others, which will benefit them enormously”.

Note:
