Lottery Roadshow Gets Off to Flying Start with Cash Award

There will be a Media Opportunity on Monday 22 March at 2.30pm at the Waterside Inn, Fraserburgh Road, Peterhead. Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson will join officials from the Heritage Lottery Fund in congratulating members of the Buchan Heritage Society on their successful lottery application.

Mr Stevenson, who supported the society’s application to the Heritage Lottery Fund, will present Mr Sandy Ritchie of the Buchan Heritage Society with a certificate of award from the lottery.

The handover will mark the start of the Lottery Roadshow which has been arranged by Stewart Stevenson to try to generate more applications and bring more lottery money to the North-east.

The event will bring six different lottery funding bodies together under one roof offering local organisations a ‘one-stop shop’ of advice. Officials from the Community Fund, the Heritage Lottery Fund, SportScotland, the Scottish Arts Council, the Scottish Land Fund and Fresh Futures will be on hand with displays and information. The roadshow is being sponsored by the Clydesdale Bank and bank officials will also be on hand to offer advice to local groups and organisations on the services they can offer.
