The package of projects pro cured by SPA’S partners in the year range from a roof replacement project for NHS Inverclyde to building a nursery in South Ayrshire.

The latest annual review by SPA for 2019-20 also revealed that it worked with 74 partners to deliver 222 projects across S cotland – compared to the 2018-19 results of work with 43 partners, which delivered 220 projects worth £160m.
