A total of £2.3 million in grants has been awarded to 67 enterprising third sector organisations across Scotland, including £48,000 to ‘Wild Things!’ in Moray, and £12,000 to Bodysurf Scotland, also in Moray.
Mr Stevenson said:
“I would like to congratulate ‘Wild Things!’ and Bodysurf Scotland on their successful applications to the Enterprise Ready Fund.
“This fund was put in place to support a sustainable and enterprising voluntary sector, and these groups have demonstrated a flair for inspiring the community around them, and making local life that little bit more interesting.”
