BANNOCKBUR­N HOUSE

The board continues to meet virtually each month, ensuring that the charity continues to run as smoothly as possible in the present circumstan­ces. The trust has been able to take on staff members through Scottish Government funding. Posts filled are Project Support Manager, Events Manager, Operations Manager and Volunteer Organiser. The trust was able to distribute 50 bags of compost, potato seeds and growing guidelines to the Bannockbur­n community as part of the project with the Climate Challenge Fund. We would love to see how you are getting on growing your tatties, so please share updates with us via email (marketing@bannockbur­nhouse.scot) or on Facebook.
