Biggar Kirk at the Gillespie Center was awarded £555 for equipment and ISKCON (Scotland) Limited in Lesmahgård was awarded £600 for equipment, materials, administration and advertising.
The Carnwath Agricultural Society was given £567 for facilities, administration and advertising.
The amount awarded to the group is a recommended amount of 60% of the amount originally requested by the group, although the Commission may decide more or less.
For Carluke Men's Shed, the recommended amount was £270, but counselor Lindsey Hamilton (Clydesdale West) was asked to help with the costs of moving the group to the new facility. I offered to give the group the full £400. This was supported and finally approved by Councilor David Shearer (Clydesdale West).
