Big lottery funding

A leading project helping adults with learning disabilities to become better parents has landed a lottery boost.

Aberlour, based in Girvan, received a £ 150,000 award from the Big Lottery Fund to support the work of their family service.

Service manager Sharon Swan said: “We are over the moon to receive this National Lottery award, which will help us to continue our life- changing work, reaching more families in South Ayrshire, over the next two years.

“Our dedicated family workers are able to identify where extra support is needed, and put strategies in place to help parents fulfil their potential.

“We are so grateful to the Big Lottery for all their ongoing support and recognition of this important work.”
