Following in the footsteps of similar events in previous years, volunteers from throughout the Luss and Arden area gathered in the village and picked up months of accumulated litter both in the village itself and in surrounding glens. |
Money raised by the Luss and Arden Community Development Trust was donated to help with the restoration work of the Luss Village Hall.
LUSS PRIMARY SCHOOLLuss Primary School was gifted £1,000 to help pay for new PE equipment.
The school successfully applied to the Luss and Arden Development Trust (LADT) for funding support to replace some of the sports equipment which is more than 20 years old. Head teacher Marianne Docherty said: “As an active school we always encourage participation in sport and this new equipment will allow us to extend opportunities and provide a wider range of experiences for the children. “Due to Covid related school closures over the last year many children have missed out on opportunities for team sports and games. We are using this money to invest in equipment which will give all our pupils the chance to develop their skills and experience the fun of playing together outdoors. Many thanks to the LADT.” |
