£4900 funding boost to support Scottish Waterways Trust outdoor programme at Falkirk Wheel
A Falkirk-based charity has received a boost in its bid to create brighter futures for others. Scottish Waterways Trust was awarded £4900 by the Scottish Children's Lottery to support its 12-week Green Action programme at the Falkirk Wheel.
The outdoor initiative aims to help youngsters who are out of employment, education or training to learn new skills and earn certificates.
Green Action participants are able to get involved in a range of activities, including landscaping and gardening, forestry, painting and maintenance.
