Stevenson Delighted at £8,000 for Buchan Archers

Stewart Stevenson, SNP MSP for Banffshire & Buchan Coast, has welcomed an £8000 Awards for All grant awarded to Buchan Archers this week.

The funding will be used to buy the necessary equipment to set up a new archery club.

Mr Stevenson said:

“I am delighted that the Buchan Archers have been granted this funding from Awards for All so that they can set up a club for people to enjoy. There are a diverse number of sports groups such as this one across Banffshire and Buchan Coast providing a wealth of choice and many ways of socialising and keeping fit. I wish them all the best for the future.”

Buchan Archers are just one of 66 groups across Scotland sharing in in £493,237 from Awards For All Scotland this week.

Awards For All Scotland gives groups a chance to apply for a grant of between £500 and £10,000 for projects that aim to help improve local communities and the lives of people most in need.

An Awards for All spokesperson, added:

“These awards highlight the range of projects that can be funded through Awards For All. From helping people to access employment opportunities through to bringing communities together to celebrate their local heritage, this funding shows how a relatively small amount of money can go a long way in communities across Scotland.”
