MSP Welcomes Community Theatre Group Cash Boost

A community theatre group has received a four-figure sum National Lottery Awards for All Scotland grant from Creative Scotland.

The Buckie Community Theatre group will be awarded a total of £6,070 and plan to use the cash injection to transform the upper levels of its building into a practice hall, costume storage facility and sewing room.

The refurbishment will provide a space for community groups and will allow the charity to provide training and support to young people interested in costume production and design.

Commenting, Banffshire and Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson said:

“I am delighted the Buckie Community Theatre Group have secured this funding to assist them in their ambitions.

“I am sure many people benefit from the use of it and this will offer additional benefit to the group and wider community.

“Congratulations to the Buckie Community Theatre group for their hard work in securing the funding.”

A National Lottery Awards for All spokesperson said:

“This funding will help a range of arts, sports and community groups from across Scotland to bring their projects ideas to life.
